# Workspace Switcher plugin for Ulauncher
This is a plugin for [uLauncher](https://ulauncher.io/) that lets you search & switch between Linux/X11 Workspaces by name:
The default keyword in `w`, so just run Ulauncher, then type `w ` to filter the workspace list, then select a workspace from the list to switch to that workspace.
## Shortcuts
If you type ` -`, it'll offer to take you back to your previous workspace - i.e. the one you were on before this one. It will save the current workspace into `$HOME/.lws` just before switching, so this will only work if you use this switcher - it won't know about workspace switches you make by other means. This is intended to work similarly to `cd -`, or `pushd/popd`.
If you type a number, e.g. ` 12` it'll offer to take you directly to workspace 12.
I used workspace icons from the [Obsidian Icon pack](https://github.com/madmaxms/iconpack-obsidian)
## Requirements
You need `wmctrl` installed. See: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/wmctrl/
For Debian/Ubuntu, you can do:
```shell
$ sudo apt install wmctrl
```
