+==== Named workspaces
+
+Workspaces are identified by their name. So, instead of using numbers in the
+workspace command, you can use an arbitrary name:
+
+*Example*:
+-------------------------
+bindsym mod+1 workspace mail
+...
+-------------------------
+
+If you want the workspace to have a number *and* a name, just prefix the
+number, like this:
+
+*Example*:
+-------------------------
+bindsym mod+1 workspace 1: mail
+bindsym mod+2 workspace 2: www
+...
+-------------------------
+
+Note that the workspace will really be named "1: mail". i3 treats workspace
+names beginning with a number in a slightly special way. Normally, named
+workspaces are ordered the way they appeared. When they start with a number, i3
+will order them numerically.
