Looking for tool to give overview of all workspaces
Was looking for a while but directly after posting I found a tool that might be what I'm after: https://github.com/morrolinux/i3expo-ng
- Does anyone have a way to show empty workspaces in i3wm polybar?

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).

I know nothing, but you could try to write something similar to i3expo-ng
- Exposè (ng) for i3
- Exposè for i3 WM

- I am in love with XFCE. Amazing desktop environment.

Workspace overview
Something like this ? I use skippy-xd which I bind to Super + Space and it gives me a live overview of all open windows regardless of what tab they're on.

I use skippy-xd which shows all of my active windows as a popup and just keybind it to Super + Space.

Okay. I will not say, that it's the last update, this time. But this will stay for long time. I just saw some Pop_Os photo, on the internet and remembered, how much I like the layout and colors, so I replicated it, as close as I could. It's simple, nice and functional.
Btw. I am not trying to write my configuration by myself. I am trying to modify a config file, that I took from this site: https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/blob/master/skippy-xd.sample.rc

Panel - preview of opened programs
I used this https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd a couple of times. It works ok.
- Skippy-XD is buggy on Arch - clicking outside of any window should exit but instead it opens the window closest to to the mouse
