6 years ago I have recently added frame-workflow-exwm.el module which includes frame-workflow-exwm-swap-workspaces command. It swaps two visible workspaces, and if there are only two monitors, it doesn't require any user input. EXWM has a built-in command named exwm-workspace-swap, but it lets you select two workspaces by numbers from any workspaces including hidden ones, which is not easy to use for me.
Workspace switching on EXWM got easier by combining the following methods:
- Display a list of EXWM workspaces on lemonbar with my custom config
- Use an EXWM built-in
exwm-workspace-switchcommand to switch to a hidden workspace. - Use
frame-workflow-exwm-swap-workspacesto swap positions of two visible workspaces. - Use exwm-window-go to switch between visible workspaces.
Frame-workflow uses
select-frame-set-input-focusfor selecting a frame by default. This function works poorly on EXWM with multiple monitors. It seems to display the frame always on the first monitor, at least in my environment. This issue may be solved by using a different function to switch frames, but evenexwm-workspace-switchseems to work in a similar way. Maybe I have to implement a new function to select a frame on EXWM.
