Automatically close other workspace #9

Closed lazymonkey2 closed 1 year ago

lazymonkey2 commented 2 years ago

I'd like an option to automatically close other workspaces (this option turned off by default). I want to use a single browser window. multiple browser windows are confusing. when I change workspace all the tabs from current workspace should be closed, and in the same browser window I want to see the tabs from the new chosen workspace. thanks.

@tortino I think that your requirement is kind of like this chrome extension: Workona, which by default hides all unfocused workspaces and minify their tabs. And also like safari's new feature "Tabs Group" on macOS Monetary.

This is a good idea and I vote for it too. I used to be a Workona user, and a single window is powerful. I usually open chrome and other apps on the same desktop, and a single window can help me efficiently locate an app in Mission Contorl.

I want to add that when other workspaces are automatically closed, it's better to not really close them, but to hide them. In other words, the tabs' states of these workspaces will be retained instead of being reloaded every time.

Good point. I guess we can let users select from minimize / close.
