Named workspaces affect numbered workspaces positioning #495

Closed phonetic112 closed 4 days ago

phonetic112 commented 4 days ago

If I create a named workspace:

workspace "mail"

The "mail" workspace replaces the first workspace with it. So switching to workspace 1 would switch to the named workspace (and, if there are already windows on workspace 1, they get moved to workspace 2). I expected named workspaces and numbered ones to be separate, so you could just focus them (Mod+Z { focus-workspace "special"; })

System Information

Hey, there are no "numbered" workspaces. It's always by index (first, second, ...) or by name addressing. The by index addressing is more of a workaround for people used to static workspaces; it wouldn't make sense to have other numbered workspaces with niri's dynamic workspace system.

The "mail" workspace replaces the first workspace with it.

Named workspaces are initially placed at the beginning, but you're free to move them around.

Mod+Z { focus-workspace "special"; }

This should work.
