# Workspaces
|
|
|
|
Each monitor has workspaces, and shows one of them at a time. A workspace has its own windows
|
|
and its own layout. komorebi's workspaces are KWin's virtual desktops: workspace 0 is the first
|
|
desktop, workspace 1 the second, and so on, which is why the pager, the overview and KWin's
|
|
shortcuts show and switch them too.
|
|
|
|
komorebi turns on KWin's per-output virtual desktops when it starts, so that each monitor shows
|
|
a desktop of its own: switching the workspace of one monitor leaves the others as they are. It
|
|
puts the setting back as it was when it stops.
|
|
|
|
## Showing another workspace
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic focus-workspace`](../cli/focus-workspace.md) shows a workspace of the focused
|
|
monitor, by its number, counted from 0. KWin shows the windows of that workspace and hides the
|
|
others, and the window of that workspace that had the focus has it again.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic focus-workspace 1
|
|
komorebic focus-workspace 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A workspace that does not exist yet is created, with the ones before it, and KWin gets a
|
|
desktop for each, named "Workspace 2" and so on. A desktop that is there already keeps its
|
|
name. The desktops komorebi creates stay when it stops.
|
|
|
|
## Moving a window to another workspace
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic move-to-workspace`](../cli/move-to-workspace.md) takes the focused window to another
|
|
workspace, puts it after the windows there, and shows that workspace.
|
|
[`komorebic send-to-workspace`](../cli/send-to-workspace.md) does the same and stays on the
|
|
workspace in front, which is tiled again without the window.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic move-to-workspace 1
|
|
komorebic send-to-workspace 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Going round the workspaces
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic cycle-workspace`](../cli/cycle-workspace.md) shows the next or the previous workspace
|
|
of the focused monitor, and wraps around at both ends;
|
|
[`komorebic cycle-empty-workspace`](../cli/cycle-empty-workspace.md) shows the next or the previous
|
|
one that has no window, if there is one.
|
|
[`komorebic cycle-move-to-workspace`](../cli/cycle-move-to-workspace.md) and
|
|
[`komorebic cycle-send-to-workspace`](../cli/cycle-send-to-workspace.md) take the focused window to
|
|
the next or the previous workspace, with and without showing it.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic cycle-workspace next
|
|
komorebic cycle-empty-workspace previous
|
|
komorebic cycle-move-to-workspace next
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The last workspace
|
|
|
|
Each monitor remembers which workspace was in front before the one in front now.
|
|
[`komorebic focus-last-workspace`](../cli/focus-last-workspace.md) shows it again, so two in a row
|
|
go back and forth between the two.
|
|
[`komorebic move-to-last-workspace`](../cli/move-to-last-workspace.md) and
|
|
[`komorebic send-to-last-workspace`](../cli/send-to-last-workspace.md) take the focused window
|
|
there, with and without showing it.
|
|
|
|
## Names
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic workspace-name`](../cli/workspace-name.md) names a workspace, given by the index of its
|
|
monitor and its own index, and
|
|
[`komorebic ensure-named-workspaces`](../cli/ensure-named-workspaces.md) gives a monitor a workspace
|
|
for each name it is given, in order. The name is komorebi's, for the commands that find a
|
|
workspace by its name: KWin's desktop keeps the name it has.
|
|
[`komorebic focus-named-workspace`](../cli/focus-named-workspace.md) shows the workspace with that
|
|
name, on the monitor that has it, and focuses that monitor. A name no workspace has changes
|
|
nothing. `komorebic query focused-workspace-name` prints the name of the workspace in front, or its
|
|
index when it has none.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic ensure-named-workspaces 0 web code mail
|
|
komorebic focus-named-workspace mail
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Adding and removing workspaces
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic new-workspace`](../cli/new-workspace.md) adds a workspace after the last one of the
|
|
focused monitor and shows it, and [`komorebic ensure-workspaces`](../cli/ensure-workspaces.md)
|
|
gives a monitor at least as many workspaces as it is told.
|
|
[`komorebic close-workspace`](../cli/close-workspace.md) removes the workspace in front and shows
|
|
the one before it, when the workspace has no window and no name and is not the monitor's last.
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic focus-workspaces`](../cli/focus-workspaces.md) shows the workspace with the same index
|
|
on every monitor.
|
|
|
|
## The layout of another workspace
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic workspace-layout`](../cli/workspace-layout.md) and
|
|
[`komorebic workspace-tiling`](../cli/workspace-tiling.md) set the layout of a workspace, and turn
|
|
its tiling off or on, by the index of its monitor and its own index;
|
|
[`komorebic named-workspace-layout`](../cli/named-workspace-layout.md) and
|
|
[`komorebic named-workspace-tiling`](../cli/named-workspace-tiling.md) find it by its name. The
|
|
focused workspace is tiled again at once, and another workspace the next time it is tiled, when it
|
|
is shown at the latest.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic workspace-layout 0 1 columns
|
|
komorebic named-workspace-tiling mail disable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Switching with KWin
|
|
|
|
Anything that switches KWin's desktop switches komorebi's workspace: the pager, KWin's own
|
|
shortcuts, the overview, or an application that raises a window of another desktop (KWin then
|
|
shows that desktop and focuses the window). komorebi follows, tiles the workspace that came
|
|
into view, and asks KWin for nothing in reply. A window moved to another desktop with the
|
|
window menu's "Move to Desktop" moves to that workspace.
|
|
|
|
## The windows that were open before
|
|
|
|
When komorebi starts, each window that is open goes to the workspace whose desktop it is on,
|
|
and each monitor starts on the workspace KWin shows there. A window that is on every desktop
|
|
goes to the workspace in front.
