TL;DR. I can see the usefulness of this behavior but it's also very annoy when
you don't expect it. As the title says, I'd like an option to revert back to
the old behavior.
Longer version:
Here's why I think the old behavior is not "useless" as described in the patch
that adds this feature.
It is indeed conceptually more consistent with desktop/screen switching
behavior but at least one of the big difference is that screen and desktops do
not overlap. It is common for windows to overlap and of wildly different sizes
to it's already harder to begin with to predict with window is the next one and
this behavior makes it even harder.
I use these shortcut to navigate between windows quickly and with this change
it takes a lot more effort to count the number of times I pressed the key
because I can't hold down the key for 1s and expect it to end up in one of the
two windows on the left side of the screen anymore. It's true that it should
only about double the targets on average on my setup since my windows are
usually either left or right tiled but tracing a semi randomly moving focus
takes much more effort.
