==== Named workspaces
Workspaces are identified by their name. So, instead of using numbers in the
workspace command, you can use an arbitrary name:
*Example*:
-------------------------
bindsym mod+1 workspace mail
...
-------------------------
If you want the workspace to have a number *and* a name, just prefix the
number, like this:
*Example*:
-------------------------
bindsym mod+1 workspace 1: mail
bindsym mod+2 workspace 2: www
...
-------------------------
Note that the workspace will really be named "1: mail". i3 treats workspace
names beginning with a number in a slightly special way. Normally, named
workspaces are ordered the way they appeared. When they start with a number, i3
will order them numerically.
