Description

I would like to be wrong but it looks like Amethyst has no functionality similar to XMonad toggleWS from XMonad.Actions.CycleWS https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Actions-CycleWS.html#g:3

toggleWS allows quickly return back without thinking where you have been, so it would be nice to have such ability

Research direction
This issue requests a toggle workspace feature similar to XMonad's toggleWS. To implement, examine existing workspace switching functionality in Amethyst, likely in files related to window management and keyboard shortcuts. The user references a specific Haskell module for reference. No maintainer response or linked PRs exist. Start by exploring the codebase for current workspace actions and adding a toggle function that remembers the previous workspace.
