The Xmonad Dynamic Workspace behavior for Sway.

Basically, it allows to create named workspaces and dynamically bind them to indexes (from 1 to 10) in order to access them quickly.

Getting started

nix run -f https://github.com/nlewo/swayctl/archive/master.tar.gz -c swayctl --help

The swayctl usage

    swayctl [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS:
    -d               Debug commands
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    bind            Bind a workspace to an index. The destination workspace must have a name

My Sway configuration

bindsym --to-code {
  $mod+1 exec swayctl show-by-num 1
  $mod+2 exec swayctl show-by-num 2
  $mod+3 exec swayctl show-by-num 3
  $mod+4 exec swayctl show-by-num 4
  $mod+5 exec swayctl show-by-num 5
  $mod+6 exec swayctl show-by-num 6
  $mod+7 exec swayctl show-by-num 7
  $mod+8 exec swayctl show-by-num 8
  $mod+9 exec swayctl show-by-num 9
  $mod+0 exec swayctl show-by-num 10

  $mod+Control+1 exec swayctl bind 1
  $mod+Control+2 exec swayctl bind 2
  $mod+Control+3 exec swayctl bind 3
  $mod+Control+4 exec swayctl bind 4
  $mod+Control+5 exec swayctl bind 5
  $mod+Control+6 exec swayctl bind 6
  $mod+Control+7 exec swayctl bind 7
  $mod+Control+8 exec swayctl bind 8
  $mod+Control+9 exec swayctl bind 9
  $mod+Control+0 exec swayctl bind 10
}

# Move a container to a named workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+x exec swayctl list | dmenu -p "Move container to workspace: " | xargs swayctl move 

# Switch or create a named workspace
# Tip: use Shift+Return to ignore the completion of dmenu
bindsym $mod+x exec swayctl list | dmenu -p "Show or create workspace: " | xargs -I{} swayctl show-by-name "{}"

# Rename the current workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+Control+x exec echo "" | dmenu -p "Rename workspace: " | xargs swayctl rename
