- does sway have any way to have more workspaces using the numbers row on a keyboard for switching?
- How many workspaces do you usually use?
- How do i add and switch workspaces on I3?
- include conditionals
- i3 gaps titlebar + workspace
- catchall keybinding?
- the config file is missing somehow
- My ears hurt
- i3 equivalent (if possible) to KDE's "Present Windows" feature. Displays all windows (all workspaces) and you can click the one you like. If you type while in this mode, it filters the windows with matching names, making them easier to find (nice to have).
- Use the same shortcut to switch containers and workspaces?

Screenshot i3 Block Button: an easy way to take screenshots with a single click. The captured screenshot is automatically copied to the clipboard and can also be saved in a file by clicking on a notification.
But there is one issue background must wait for dunstify notifcation to finish (explained here in different context https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks/issues/354). This mean I can't take another screenshot until I dismiss/click this notification.

I made (yet another) status bar generator - yablocks
You can think of yablocks as somewhere in between writing your own status generator manually using the i3bar json protocol and using i3blocks. You'll be generating the JSON output yourself, but with help from a fully featured templating engine and structured data.
