move workspace/layout to another output and follow them by screens
I was maybe not very clear in my title. 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 github
Do I get it right: Every time you open a new workspace (regardlessly on which output) you want the workspaces to be automatically ordered consecutively and ascending on each output? I don't think it is possible out of the box, but a script using i3-msg should be able to du the job.
yes you're totally right. I'll think about i3-msg thanks for the tip!
