Originally created by @sfranky on GitHub (Oct 16, 2022).

I always set my windows to be put in specific workspaces but there are cases where i want to break the rule and have them side-by-side with another window from another workspace, and because of the rule I've put, I can't.

It would be nice if there were an option to only intially place a window on a specific workspace. And then re-apply this only when the settings are reloaded (or retiling takes place, i don't know what's appropriate).
I've seen this as a feature in KDE, and it was great :)

An alternative would be to have the windows stick-able, like, be able to put a window on workspace 2 and 4, but I've come to understand this is possible in TWM where there are "tags" instead of workspaces...(right?), so not sure it's possible.

thx and keep up the good work, this software is truly awesome !!

I think that it may be possible to have a hotkey that toggles the enforcement of rules, so that you can turn it off when you want to break the rules, and then turn it back on when you're done.

If anyone wants to try and implement this you can find a pretty good starting point by looking at how any of the other toggle commands are handled.
