I've been doing this on macOS for many years, and it's a major thing I miss in Plasma. On macOS, workspaces are assigned to displays, and each display has its own set of workspaces. When you plug in an external display, macOS dynamically creates a new workspace for it. You can then create more workspaces for that display. The current workspace on each display are stitched together when in "multi-display extend mode", which allows applications to move across displays seamlessly. Making an application fullscreen in macOS automatically generates a new workspace to put the application in it, allowing you to easily switch back and forth between full-screen apps and workspaces freely. This also makes it so you *always* have access to your desktop, especially if you only have a single workspace (which is the current macOS and Plasma defaults). >From my attempts to port over my workflow from macOS to Plasma, these things are completely missing, which makes it frustrating for me when I do things like presentations and demos when giving talks. I often take advantage of these features to pre-prepare the second screen with everything I need to present and demo without showing the stuff on my main display or shuffling things around too much. It's also handy for being able to have something like Crunchyroll/YouTube/Hulu/Netflix/etc on the secondary display and still be able to change workspaces on the primary display while I'm doing work and watching TV. I do this fairly often when I'm doing work leisurely. My understanding is that a good chunk of this already exists in Enlightenment, but no other Linux desktop has it, which is a shame. I'd love to see this implemented for Plasma Wayland because it's a massive quality of life improvement for usability, efficiency, and desktop reliability. Note that I'm using Fedora Linux 34 with KDE Plasma, which uses Plasma Wayland by default. I'm currently using Plasma 5.22.4. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
