feature request: configure arrangement of virtual desktops #82

I'm putting forth this request without an understanding as to the feasibility of the solution - I'm unfamiliar with how macos manages these layouts.

for my particular example, I'd like to have 5 virtual desktops per monitor across 3 monitors at work (5/5/5), and maybe 5/10 split across the two monitors I have at home. Sometimes when I move my laptop between work (3 monitors) and home (2 monitors) , it'll shuffle around the desktops until there's a 3/6/6 or a 2/13 distribution (or something of the sort, it really varies). aside from consistency, being able to hold these configurations the same will unlock a huge synergy / enable https://cordlessdog.com/stay/ to work as intended.

Anyway, I LOVE this project, it's been such a help to me. thank you for everything you've done and do! If this is out of scope for what you want the tool to achieve, I'd still appreciate the conversation so I can better understand how this works / potentially fork and fix

PS - I wanted to tag this as a feature request but I'm not sure I have the ability to do that!
