Question: how to go back and forth in the order the window configuration appeared

[QiangF]

Winner-undo and winner-redo are supposed to do that, but some window
configurations are lost for reason I don't know. Eyebrowse-mode has more
functionalities. So I am trying to get this to work with the following steps:

1. create a slot ring with a maximum size, the ring can just be a string of slot
   number or names, it would be simpler than
   Use a ring-like data structure #7

2. create a window configuration after buffer switch and push it to the last slot
   in the slot ring, buffer swith is the only window configuration change by the
   user:

(advice-add 'switch-to-buffer :after #'eyebrowse-create-window-config)

3. create a command to switch back and forth in the slots ring, if command other
   than switch back and forth is executed and the window configuration has been
   changed, goto 2.

In step 2, I have come with a problem, if the destination buffer is the
minibuffer, no window configuration should be created.

Possible issues:

I am using the EXWM window manager (https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm), it can move
window to another exwm workspace on the other monitor, the configuration will
corrupt if a x window is removed from the current frame. May be related to
#45
#40

Are there better ways to achieve what I want?

You should be able to achieve that by using the provided hooks and saving window configurations elsewhere when they're run. That being said, I don't have issues with winner-mode here for the undoing bits. If you have a repro for any of the bugs mentioned, open a ticket with it.
