Startup application (default workspaces)

[ramonvermeulen]

Is it possible to save workspaces and use them as default? E.g. in i3 I had a set-up where certain applications went into certain workspaces (1-9) by default when booting my machine.

Maybe you can combine after-login-command = [] with on-window-detect.

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.github.wez.wezterm'
run = ['move-node-to-workspace T']

I use a shortcut to start the apps to not have this open everytime I boot.

Oh nice, this actually sounds like something that is really handy. The idea is you let your OS handle the start-up applications (e.g. aerospace itself being one of them), and then via this on-window-detected hook aerospace will automatically move the configured applications to the desired workspace? Will play a bit with this, thanks!

To give an idea, this is what I used to have in i3-wm: https://github.com/ramonvermeulen/dotfiles/blob/main/roles/i3/files/startup-config
