This issue is fixed in Ubuntu 17.10 and later (which use GNOME instead
of Unity). See https://askubuntu.com/a/1002071/616451 for how to enable

This would be a great feature to have. I am with the other people here
who use work spaces as a management system for different projects and
topics. It is very confusing to have the Launcher include everything in
a single bar, across all work spaces, and makes Unity very difficult to
use.

To me it is one of the two remaining issues to Unity especially when you are
using several screens.
The second one is about the workspace switcher which could be clikable and
appear at the right of the dash menu and showing the exact number of
workspaces. Except that it is great... Shame!

Anyone bothered by this: you can try Gnome-Shell + the Dash-To-Dock

I've just tried to change my workflow to be less distracted on current task

I think this is a serious usability problem. If Unity provide multiple
workspaces, it should provide also an efficient way of using them and it
is not provided until now.
I am really happy with unity and its keyboard shortcuts to improve my
