I've figured I can assign a private window to another workspace by loading Firefox with the private window option, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it by selecting the private window option in the Firefox menu.
The private window will always have '(Private Browsing)' on it, so I was wondering if I can get that using regex or something.
Use the for_window command in your config. Whenever a window meets the selection criteria, it will execute the command.
for_window [title=".*\(Private Browsing\).*"] move to workspace "8:Christmas Shopping"
You could try something like that:
assign [class="Firefox" title="(?i)Private Browsing"] 5
This should assign any Private Browsing window from Firefox to workspace 5. Of course you can choose any workspace you want.
(?i) will make the regex match case insensitive. Maybe you have to play with the class/title parameters a little.
PS:
xprop (on linux commandline) gives information about the name/class etc. of any given x-window.
Sorry, I should've given you a longer answer. The workspace bit is not the problem. It does work when I change 'title' to 'id' but then it sends normal Firefox windows there too. Maybe I need a more specific regex or is there something else I'm missing?
I don't have firefox installed so I couldn't check my answer. Maybe you could post the output from xprop so we could see the difference between a 'normal' firefox' window and a 'private browsing' one. There's a regex for everything as long as the title is distinctive.
