@privateger i think they were meant for more space-constrained use-case but some people mention tagging workspaces to be for "one app" so once you build up muscle memory its supposed to be an efficient way to swap between programs

i dont like the shared workspace numbers between monitors since with three monitors you quickly build up 7 or 8 and switching between them gets annoying
