Guess that would be a feature request then. Like to have the option to lock a work space in place that it stays open even though there is no container/ window open inside (i.e. terminal session disconnects in the background and application closes). Preferably, I could achieve this by just sending a configurable key binding to the present work space. Bonus would be colouring or other indication in the work space bar for locked in place work spaces.Tue, 19 Feb 2013 03:40:48 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1228/lock-workspace-to-permanent/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1228/lock-workspace-to-permanent/?answer=1231#post-id-1231This is not going to happen. Workspaces in i3 are created when they are used and destroyed when they are empty. This is part of the look & feel and not subject to change.
