# Simply Workspaces
Gnome 3 workspace indicator with an i3/polybar style.
> Note: Similar to polybar, workspaces that have no windows will be hidden
## Installation
The easiest way to get started is by getting this from the [Gnome Extensions site](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4343/simply-workspaces/).
### Manual installation
System installation
```sh
git clone https://github.com/andyrichardson/simply-workspaces.git
cd simply-workspaces
make install
```
User installation (and/or dev)
```sh
git clone https://github.com/andyrichardson/simply-workspaces.git ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
```
### Nix
See example [dotfiles here](https://github.com/andyrichardson/dotfiles/blob/2e8792fbd810499d4297d5ec25bc221b91b2e44e/nix/flake.nix#L98).
## Usage
Make sure you're using static workspaces **(required)**
```
dconf write /org/gnome/shell/overrides/dynamic-workspaces false
```
or for Gnome 42:
```
dconf write /org/gnome/mutter/dynamic-workspaces false
```
### Suggested setup
Here's some quick tips for getting an i3-like experience in Gnome.
#### Workspace count
Configure Gnome to use 10 static workspaces.
```sh
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/num-workspaces 10
```
#### Keyboard shortcuts
Set up `super+num` keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces.
```sh
for i in {1..10}
do
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-$i "['$i']"
# Remove default binding
dconf write /org/gnome/shell/keybindings/switch-to-application-$i "@as []"
done
# Workspace 10 -> 0
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-10 "['0']"
```
Set up `super+shift+num` keyboard shortcut to move windows between workspaces.
```sh
for i in {1..10}
do
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-workspace-$i "['$i']"
done
# Workspace 10 -> 0
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-workspace-10 "['0']"
```
#### Tiling
Install [Pop Shell](https://github.com/pop-os/shell) for window tiling.
