Here an example of what I'd like to do: Today I work like this: workspaces [1][2][4] are on my primary output and [3][5] on my second I'm on my first output and go on a new workspace: the [6] now. I'd like to say to i3 to create this workspace on the fifth workspace and move the others incremented by one. The resullt would be primary: [1][2][3][4] second: [5][6] instead of primary: [1][2][4][6] second: [3][5] In order to have a better workspace switcher way without send a workspace to the other screen. I don't know if I'm very clear but the idea is to have **automatically higher workspace number on second screen than on the primary** Is this possible today ? In case not I'll write a script and put it on githubMon, 02 Sep 2013 22:36:55 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2474/move-workspacelayout-to-another-output-and-follow-them-by-screens/Comment by mschaefer for I was maybe not very clear in my title.

I don't think it is possible out of the box, but a script using i3-msg should be able to du the job.Tue, 03 Sep 2013 08:44:41 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2474/move-workspacelayout-to-another-output-and-follow-them-by-screens/?comment=2475#comment-2475Comment by tinh for I was maybe not very clear in my title.

I'll think about i3-msg thanks for the tip!Tue, 03 Sep 2013 09:05:54 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2474/move-workspacelayout-to-another-output-and-follow-them-by-screens/?comment=2477#comment-2477
