README

        
The [Xmonad Dynamic Workspace](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Actions-DynamicWorkspaces.html) behavior for Sway.

Basically, it allows to create named workspaces and dynamically bind

them to indexes (from 1 to 10) in order to access them quickly.

### Getting started

```sh

nix run -f https://github.com/nlewo/swayctl/archive/master.tar.gz -c swayctl --help

```

### The `swayctl` usage

        show-by-num     Show a workspace by it's number

        swap            Swap visible workspaces

### My Sway configuration

    bindsym --to-code {

      $mod+1 exec swayctl show-by-num 1

      $mod+2 exec swayctl show-by-num 2

      $mod+3 exec swayctl show-by-num 3

      $mod+4 exec swayctl show-by-num 4

      $mod+5 exec swayctl show-by-num 5

      $mod+6 exec swayctl show-by-num 6

      $mod+7 exec swayctl show-by-num 7

      $mod+8 exec swayctl show-by-num 8

      $mod+9 exec swayctl show-by-num 9

      $mod+0 exec swayctl show-by-num 10

      $mod+Control+1 exec swayctl bind 1

      $mod+Control+2 exec swayctl bind 2

      $mod+Control+3 exec swayctl bind 3

      $mod+Control+4 exec swayctl bind 4

      $mod+Control+5 exec swayctl bind 5

      $mod+Control+6 exec swayctl bind 6

      $mod+Control+7 exec swayctl bind 7

      $mod+Control+8 exec swayctl bind 8

      $mod+Control+9 exec swayctl bind 9

      $mod+Control+0 exec swayctl bind 10

    }

    # Move a container to a named workspace

    bindsym $mod+Shift+x exec swayctl list | dmenu -p "Move container to workspace: " | xargs swayctl move 

    # Switch or create a named workspace

    # Tip: use Shift+Return to ignore the completion of dmenu

    bindsym $mod+x exec swayctl list | dmenu -p "Show or create workspace: " | xargs -I{} swayctl show-by-name "{}"

    # Rename the current workspace

    bindsym $mod+Shift+Control+x exec echo "" | dmenu -p "Rename workspace: " | xargs swayctl rename
