My work flow is this: Open an application, put the application window to a new workspace, never minimize, never close. As I understand it, Gnome’s work flow philosophy is similar to this as there are no minimize buttons with vanilla Gnome.
What is surprising though is that this being the intended work flow (or close to it) there is no way for opening apps automatically to a new workspace. I know there are keyboard commands to move an app window to a new workspace, However I wonder if this can be automated because at some point this becomes a lot of effort with multiple apps already opened.
I found an extension where you can specify a workspace for each app but I’d rather not set workspace numbers to all the apps I use.
I found this post by @fmuellner but the code is gone. Is there a way to set Gnome to the behavior I am asking for? Or have those code snippets from the linked post been put into an extension?
Thank you. I checked those extensions but this is not what I am looking for exactly. Maybe @fmuellner would be so kind to share his code snippets again.
That seems possible. However, with the extension you are linking to you have to manually set a workspace for each app you are using. Which is very impractical. As I understood it the code I was linking to did open apps in new workspaces automatically, without setting a workspace number for an app. Which is much more convenient.
