Changing it to a workspace switcher button makes sense, but to make it simple shouldn't it just open a floating menu with options based on the workspaces as they are presently configured with a couple extra options on the bottom, rather than add multiple buttons? Example: [1] [2] [*] [4] [C] [+] where: # - # of workspace * - current workspace (most probably greyed out) C - Closet workspace (if that idea is used) + - create a new workspace and send the window there.
