    Not exactly the same purpose but here is a small tool I wrote to group workspaces across all monitors : https://github.com/J3rome/i3-multimonitor-workspace

    TLDR: global workspace span across all monitors. Changing workspace change for all monitors (Similar to what happen in windows & macos). In my opinion, it allows for a better separation between workspaces/tasks.

    It's a MVP/alpha software. Need some optimisations but it does the job (been using it daily for over a year now).
