@oschonrock@mastodon.social Hmm at least on sway it would be easy to work around the issue as you could assign some workspaces (1, 2, 3, etc.) to output one, some to output two (11, 12, 13, etc.), and then modify your shortcuts for switching workspaces to change workspaces on both outputs at once (i.e. `bindsym $mod+1 workspace number 1, workspace number 11` to switch to workspace "1"). And then configure whatever bar you are using to hide this.
Similar workarounds might exist on niri and hyprland?

@qwertviop@chaos.social yeah, that's a good call. Might be an idea to try sway anyway https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/compare/packages/hyprland,sway,niri probably simpler and more stable? I installed niri with Dank Material Shell, then it complained about needing a newer Quickshell for "idle detect => suspend", so I upgraded to qs-git, and the machine started leaking so much memory, it's all over my floor now... 😂

@qwertviop@chaos.social @oschonrock@mastodon.social This works for both Niri and Hyprland as well. You'd set the keybind for a script that calls ${compositor}ctl dispatch workspace 1 ${compositor}ctl dispatch workspace 11 ...
