- How to switch focus to last selected window?
-
Is it possible to force all windows that move to a specific workspace and/or monitor to automatically become floating?
i3ipc-python seems to do what I want -- it even has a script specifically for this -- and for existing windows moving to the space I think I can just use the binding.
-
Use the same shortcut to switch containers and workspaces?
Any reason not to use i3ipc-python? The module will talk over the ipc socket rather than calling out to (relatively expensive) i3-msg subprocesses to do it.
-
How to send all keystrokes to a specific window with a specific WM_CLASS regexp?
Untested but with i3ipc-python you should be able to write a script something like this:
-
Can you alt+tab in i3 WM?
here you go, there's more stuff on the arch wiki
-
Super Tab behavior like any other DE do with apps.
And this is the specific script to focus the last focused workspace https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python/blob/master/examples/focus-last.py
-
sway-menu extended
Looks good, if you want to go even further you could replace calls to swaymsg with a python implementation python-i3ipc / i3ipc-python
-
Issues with Runekit on Linux.
I could probably use the i3ipc-python (https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python) library (which works with both i3 and Sway) to make a Sway-specific implementation, but then it would be up to other people to implement support for things like KDE Wayland and Gnome Wayland.

How to catch name of a window *at the exact moment of creation* before it changes? example: zoom notifications, them sly devils!
This is kind of interesting for me. I ran into a problem with spotify, I couldn't assign it to its proper workspace... The reason was because spotify does not put proper values in at startup (sometimes it manages, but mostly not), in bspwm there were subscribe that just dumped data out. I3 you can subscribe as well, but it seems they want you to use more libraries. I found this https://i3wm.org/docs/ipc.html, through that I found https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python, installed it with

Vertical Sidebar
The end goal is to make something that interacts with https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python, or something similar, so I'm fine with something closer to a library.

- 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?
