Eligibility

Individual Commercial Use License

Suggestion

Instead of always using digits as identifiers of workspaces, I'd like to be able to give semantic identifiers such as 'Terminal' or even be able to use an Nerd Font Icon.

Currently, I can specify a string value on komorebi.json but komorebic has a validation that stops you from using anything but digits:

❯ komorebic.exe focus-workspace 'T'
error: invalid value 'T' for '<TARGET>': invalid digit found in string

For more information, try '--help'.

Alternatives Considered

I can continue using digits and remember what each one is for but having a workspace named 'Terminal' for example would be nice.

Check out the "named" komorebic command variants, eg: https://lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/cli/focus-named-workspace.html?h=named

The only caveat is that the user is responsible for ensuring workspace name uniqueness across monitors
