Example: I am on workspace `2` and I want to create a new workspace. Can I tell `i3` to automatically create whatever number is next in the series without me telling it to create workspace `3`?Wed, 15 Jan 2014 21:58:29 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3242/new-workspace-without-specifying-number/Answer by joepd for <p>Hi</p> <p>How do I create a new workspace without having to explicitly specify the number? Example: I am on workspace <code>2</code> and I want to create a new workspace.
