As such it can only be bound to a key (`bindkey` or `bindsym`) or called with the i3-IPC (for example `i3-msg`) while i3 is already running.

If you want your workspace `1` to be named `1: Coding` instead, you just have to modify the keybinding for it. 

    bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1: Coding

i3 will take the names of workspaces from these bindings.</description><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2014 07:58:56 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3813/error-when-renaming-workspaces/?answer=3828#post-id-3828</guid></item></channel></rss>
