## Direction

`Direction` [FromPointer] `direction` [(`conditions`)] `command`

Performs `command` (typically Focus) on a window in the given direction which satisfies all `conditions`. Normally, the center of the currently focused window or the context window in which the command was invoked is taken as the starting point. Lacking such a window, or when the FromPointer option is given, the current position of the pointer is taken as the starting point. The `direction` may be one of "North", "Northeast", "East", "Southeast", "South", "Southwest", "West", "Northwest" and "Center". Which window Direction selects depends on angle and distance between the center points of the windows. Closer windows are considered a better match than those farther away. The Center direction simply selects the window closest to the starting point. Returns -1 if an invalid direction was given. See the Conditions section for a list of conditions.
