[FEAT]: Briefly showing the workspace name #592

Open kimagin opened 1 year ago

kimagin commented 1 year ago

Every time when i get many application opens across different workspaces, sometimes I was wondering which workspace currently am I in and then I have to cycle through all of my workspaces in order to find the window that I'm searching for.

A good solution would be the possibility to hide windows taskbar and replace it with a minimal bar -- something like Polybar to show some basic information as well as the pagination for the workspaces with the current workspace indicated as active.

If that won't be possible, just showing for a brief moment when holding ALT to show what is your current workspace and which workspace is free to move the window to that.

My sense is that all of that is already possible. Showing a toast for a few seconds that displays the current workspace should be pretty straightforward via AHK. One could set it up to pop up whenever the workspace changes, or whenever a certain hotkey is pressed. If you are interested I can try to script it down later over the weekend.

For an "always visible" indicator, many users like yasb, which is a minimal taskbar replacement with komorebi support. If you want something even more minimal, you could try komoTray which just adds a status indicator with the current workspace inside the system tray.

This AHK script is available as an executable (or can be compiled), and can be used for briefly displaying text on a monitor.
