[wlr/Taskbar] Add an option to sort opened application by workspace #1278

Open mleone87 opened 3 years ago

Hi, actually, applications in taskbar spawn only in the order of opening, so if one opens a lot of application on different workspaces, it can be difficult to idenitfy them by the workspace.

Another option would be to group them by workspace

Any feedback on this idea?

Thanks!

Hi, I like the idea. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible. The underlying protocol used to get the opened applications from the compositor does not have any information about workspaces. Hence, such a sorting is not possible. I hope, that eventually the protocol will be extended to also contain this information. But there is still a lot of work to do.
