# swap-xfce-workspaces
Swap/move the current Xfce workspace, with either the next, previous or a specified target workspace.
This swaps over all the windows from the src and target workspaces, then swaps the workspace names.
## Requirements
You need `wmctrl` installed. See: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/wmctrl/
For Xubuntu, you can do:
```shell
$ sudo apt install wmctrl
```
## Installation
```shell
$ sudo cp swap-xfce-workspaces.sh /usr/bin/swap-xfce-workspaces
```
## Usage
### Swap with specific workspace, by ID
You can swap the current workspace with any other by passing in the target workspace id:
```shell
$ swap-xfce-workspaces
```
NOTE: This expects XFCE workspace numbers, which start from 1.
### Swap with previous or next workspace
This will move the current workspace left or right, by swapping it with the previous or next workspace:
```shell
$ swap-xfce-workspace prev
$ swap-xfce-workspace next
```
