I3-wm: assign a workspace to a monitor
When working in a multi-monitor setup and apps are assigned to specific workspaces, it is useful to assign workspaces to a specific monitor; for instance, in order to have wide-screen apps like VLC always be displayed on the wider monitor.
List your monitors’s handles using
$ xrandr --listmonitors | awk '{print $4}'
> HDMI-A-0
> eDP
Then define variables and assign workspaces to monitors in the i3 config file
set $monitor_builtin "eDP"
set $monitor_external "HDMI-A-0"
workspace $ws8 output $monitor_external
Note: if workspace have names containing spaces (such as those generated by regolith) numbers should be used:
workspace 8 output $monitor_external
