Workspaces

This module provides information about the current workspaces
and allows switching between them.

You can switch between two main visibility modes:

All: All workspaces will be displayed.
MonitorSpecific: Only the workspaces of the related monitor will be displayed.

You can also enable or disable filling the workspace
list with empty workspaces using the enable_workspace_filling option.

The default configuration is:

[workspaces]
visibility_mode = "All"
enable_workspace_filling = true

If you want a specific number of empty workspaces always displayed,
you can use the max_workspaces option. This setting only works
if enable_workspace_filling is set to true.

Usually, enable_workspace_filling will create empty workspaces
up to the greatest workspace in use.
For example, if you have a window open in workspace 1 and
another one in workspace 5, ashell will create empty
workspaces 2, 3, and 4 to fill the gap.

With max_workspaces set to 10, ashell will also create
workspaces 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

By default, max_workspaces is None, which disables this feature.

Examples

If you want to disable workspace filling and set the visibility mode
to "MonitorSpecific", you can do it like this:

[workspaces]
visibility_mode = "MonitorSpecific"
enable_workspace_filling = false

If you want to set the maximum number of workspaces to 10, you can do it like this:

[workspaces]
enable_workspace_filling = true
max_workspaces = 10
