FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
{name}: Name of the workspace, as defined by sway.
{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.
{index}: Index of the workspace.
ICONS
Additional to workspace name matching, the following format-icons can be set.
• default: Will be shown, when no string matches is found.
• urgent: Will be shown, when workspace is flagged as urgent
• focused: Will be shown, when workspace is focused
PERSISTENT WORKSPACES
Each entry of persistent_workspace names a workspace that should always be shown. Associated with that
value is a list of outputs indicating where the workspace should be shown, an empty list denoting all
outputs.
"sway/workspaces": {
"persistent_workspaces": {
"3": [], // Always show a workspace with name '3', on all outputs if it does not exists
"4": ["eDP-1"], // Always show a workspace with name '4', on output 'eDP-1' if it does not exists
"5": ["eDP-1", "DP-2"] // Always show a workspace with name '5', on outputs 'eDP-1' and 'DP-2' if it does not exists
}
}
n.b.: the list of outputs can be obtained from command line using swaymsg -t get_outputs
