    Niri has a way to have named workspaces now which basically act like persistent workspaces, so you don't have to use dynamic workspaces system. I really like niri and have it as my daily driver

    Yeah, my problem with it is that I have to be conscious of what named workspaces are created to know what keybind to hit to switch to them and that they occupy regular workspaces place. I guess one is meant to scroll through them with your touchpad or keybinds, but when you have 5 + workspaces it become inefficient. I think Niri would be better suited for ultra-wide monitor but then one would not have a touchpad... Most importantly when you want to send windows to a particular workspace (other than neighbor workspaces) it can be a nighmare. Probably its just me no being able to figure it out and/or became to accustomed to a particular workflow, #skill_issue.

    I feel like you are missing something because I can directly hop around one of my ten workspaces with a single click, without a need of scrolling through the workspaces between. What I do is to create ten named workspaces in startup (I actually only use like five of them but let's ignore that). Then I can still navigate them by the index number. I don't use regular workspaces enitrely in my setup.

    Note: I only use a single monitor and never move workspaces up or down so I don't know the experience there.

    Oh, I can't remeber well but here is my question: when you have set 10 named workspaces and only have active #1, #2 and #4... Does not #4 become #3 even if its named? Meaning you can focus the originally #4 workspace? Anyway when I used it(for 3-4days consecutive) I did not think of naming workspaces just 1 to 10 to fix in them in place lmao.

    Sorry I saw it earlier but I forgot to respond. Named workspaces are always active, and they stay in place regardless if there is a window there or not.
