To do this, I need to run two commands by the same keybind. Along the lines of this bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1 bindsym $mod+1 move workspace to output right . ... bindsym $mod2+1 workspace 11 bindsym $mod2+1 move workspace to output left . ... (unrelated: $mod2 = Control) This config is not accepted however. And if I try to combine them it will behave the same, but create workspace "1 to output right".Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:24:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=3785#post-id-3785Why not use i3-msg bindsym $mod2+1 exec "i3-msg workspace 1 && i3-msg move workspace to output DFP10" Fri, 09 May 2014 22:55:43 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=3785#post-id-3785https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?comment=5131#comment-5131Most of the times, this is the wrong thing to do. You're in "i3-msg" context already, and opening a shell, to call i3-msg (twice, in this case).Sun, 07 Dec 2014 17:46:31 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?comment=5131#comment-5131https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=1711#post-id-1711separate commands by ; bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1; move workspace to output right bindsym $mod2+1 workspace 11; move workspace to output leftFri, 26 Apr 2013 23:04:18 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=1711#post-id-1711https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=1712#post-id-1712Thanks, that worked nicely. I'm getting the functionality I was wanting, however workspace 1 and 11 still gets misnamed when I switch away from them despite working as intended. Not sure if this is a bug or if i messed something up. # switch to workspace on left monitor bindsym $mod2+1 workspace 1; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+2 workspace 2; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+3 workspace 3; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+4 workspace 4; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+5 workspace 5; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+6 workspace 6; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+7 workspace 7; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+8 workspace 8; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+9 workspace 9; move workspace to output DFP10 bindsym $mod2+0 workspace 0; move workspace to output DFP10 # switch to workspace on right monitor bindsym $mod+1 workspace 11; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+2 workspace 12; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+3 workspace 13; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+4 workspace 14; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+5 workspace 15; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+6 workspace 16; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+7 workspace 17; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+8 workspace 18; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+9 workspace 19; move workspace to output DFP11 bindsym $mod+0 workspace 20; move workspace to output DFP11 EDIT: No sorry, even more bizzare. First workspace on the right monitor is named "1; move workspace to output DFP10". This is with workspace 1 still working as intended on the left monitor. It appears it occurs on alternate key presses i.e pressing Mod1+1 twice will toggle the phantom on and off.Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:09:17 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/1709/multiple-commands-to-a-keybind/?answer=1712#post-id-1712
