Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/558

The function switchToScreen only allows switching to a specific screen, so it is not currently possible to have a single binding switch between 2 screens. Implementing the feature to switch focus between two screens (e.g. keystroke(shift+control+space) = switchToScreen(screen1|screen2) or to switch to previously focused screen (e.g. keystroke(shift+control+space) = switchToScreen(previous) would make switching focus between 2 screens much more intuitive (matches the behavior of a desktop environment or window manager that has multiple workspaces) and doesn't take up valuable bindings (I like to use vim-like bindings and currently need to control+alt+h|l).

It may be easier to do this with SwitchInDirection
