i3-open-next-ws

A companion utility to i3wm for managing workspaces. I found myself wanting to move windows to their own workspaces, without caring which number that workspace has, so I wrote this simple tool to pick first unused workspace automagically.

Installation:

```sh cargo install --git https://github.com/JohnDowson/i3-open-next-ws.git

add ~/.cargo/bin/ to path

```

Usage:

sh i3-open-next-ws [OPTIONS] [WORKSPACE] OPTIONS: -e, --exec <COMMAND> Execute COMMAND on a new workspace -f, --focus Focus first unused workspace -m, --move Move focused window to the first unused workspace This will move currently focused window to first unused workspace: sh $ i3-open-next-ws --move This will focus workspace 5 sh $ i3-open-next-ws --focus 5 This will open chromium on workspace 3 sh $ i3-open-next-ws --exec chromium -- 3 Commands can be combined: this will move currently focused window to the first unused workspace AND focus that workspace sh $ i3-open-next-ws --focus --move
