5.4. Changing (named) workspaces/moving to workspaces

To change to a specific workspace, use the workspace command, followed by the number or name of the workspace. To move containers to specific workspaces, use move workspace.

5.4.1. 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.
