--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to rename workspaces on demand while keeping the navigation stable,
you can use a setup like this:
*Example*:
-------------------------
bindsym $mod+1 workspace number "1: www"
bindsym $mod+2 workspace number "2: mail"
...
-------------------------
If a workspace does not exist, the command +workspace number "1: mail"+ will
create workspace "1: mail".
If a workspace with number 1 does already exist, the command will switch to this
workspace and ignore the text part. So even when the workspace has been renamed
to "1: web", the above command will still switch to it.
