[Feature Request] Allow launching apps into new/next workspace using shortcut like Alt+Enter #37

senntore commented 2 years ago

Problem:

Right now launcher opens app in the current workspace by default, which in a small screen(like 1920x1080) when already containing multiple apps can lead into disorganized workspace & windows because some apps do not behave well in small size. We have to manually resize them or move into new/another workspace & most of the time we know that we will have to do this even before launching an app.

Solution:

Allowing to launch apps into a new/next workspace(& switching to them) can help fasten our experience with the desktop & also keep workspace organized. Shortcuts example: Alt+Enter to launch selected app & Ctrl+Alt+[1-8] to launch app in search-results/shown order.

While other tiling window managers provide shortcuts to launch apps in workspace of users choice, I'm not sure if something like that is in the current roadmap.

I wonder if this feature will be implemented in the new Cosmic DE.
