@realestninja@social.linux.pizza As in the literal F{01..12} keys or the XF86 media keys? I suppose that would work as well, but then you would need press the Fn key a lot...

@realestninja@social.linux.pizza I use the volume up/down/mute and brightness keys too often for that... Though I guess not often enough for having to press Fn+F[0-9] to become too annoying. But 13 numbered workspaces have always been enough for me, so I don't have to make that trade-off.

@realestninja@social.linux.pizza

bindsym $mod+grave workspace number 0
...
bindsym $mod+minus workspace number 11
bindsym $mod+equal workspace number 12

bindsym $mod+Shift+grave move container to workspace 0
...
bindsym $mod+Shift+minus move container to workspace 11
bindsym $mod+Shift+equal move container to workspace 12

helps a bit. And also use special workspaces for some applications (mail, messengers, etc.) that don't use a number as name.

@oschonrock@mastodon.social Oh yeah, sway is extremely stable and light on resources, but it lacks some eyecandy (rounded corners, window animations, etc.). If that tradeoff is worth it for you I'd definitely recommend it. Its config is compatible with that of i3 (except for X11 specific options), so there are plenty of resources about it online too. Never used quickshell but it should work fine with sway (according to a brief online search).

@oschonrock@mastodon.social Hmm at least on sway it would be easy to work around the issue as you could assign some workspaces (1, 2, 3, etc.) to output one, some to output two (11, 12, 13, etc.), and then modify your shortcuts for switching workspaces to change workspaces on both outputs at once (i.e. bindsym $mod+1 workspace number 1, workspace number 11 to switch to workspace "1"). And then configure whatever bar you are using to hide this.

Similar workarounds might exist on niri and hyprland?
