Nicolas Hi, I've been a find of https://github.com/proxypoke/quickswitch-for-i3. It provide for switching between workspaces: https://github.com/proxypoke/quickswitch-for-i3#workspaces Thanks, -- Steven Knight ste...@knight.cx After using quickswitch for a couple of years, I've recently switched to rofi (https://davedavenport.github.io/rofi/), and can highly recommend looking into that as well. Highlights include dmenu compatibility, pango font rendering and a sweet ssh launcher. Besides, I think the quickswitch project is pretty much unmaintained these days, which is what triggered my looking for a replacement in the first place. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
