Current Behavior

workspace next and prev skip workspaces that have the same number as current.

For example, having workspace 1, 2:foo, 2:bar, and 3, with 2:foo focused and doing workspace next takes us to workspace 3, skipping 2:bar. Being on workspace 2:bar and doing workspace prev takes us to 1, skipping 2:foo.

Desired Behavior

To not skip them.

Impact

When typically using more than 10 workspaces, this helps to organize them by using the numbers to categorize workspaces and group them. The digit keys can be used to quickly get to an area of workspaces and then select the correct workspace with workspace next/prev keybindings. This is similar to how one would quickly navigate a video on YouTube.

Skipping the number-colliding workspaces doesn't seem useful, so this might actually be a bug report.

Please note that new features which require additional configuration will usually not be considered. We are happy with the feature set of i3 and want to focus in fixing bugs instead. We do accept feature requests, however, and will evaluate whether the added benefit (clearly) outweighs the complexity it adds to i3.

Keep in mind that i3 provides a powerful way to interact with it through its IPC interface: https://i3wm.org/docs/ipc.html.

I think I'd view this as a bug rather than a feature request. It seems only sensible that the command cycles workspaces in the order i3bar shows them.

@Airblader Yeah. I think I made a mistake in viewing this as a new feature rather than a bugfix.

eg if you have workspaces: { 1, 2:a, 2:b, 3 } and are on workspace 1,
then 'workspace next' should traverse 1 -> 2:a -> 2:b -> 3 -> 1 instead
of 1 -> 2:a -> 3 -> 1.

Fixes #4452
