# This is a simple way of switching between multiple BSPWM desktops, even if they're
|
|
# present on a different monitor. Instead of the default BSPWM behavior where when
|
|
# we switch to a desktop that belongs to another monitor, it brings it into focus
|
|
# on that monitor, this script will instead move that desktop on the focused monitor,
|
|
# and bring it into focus here.
|
|
#
|
|
# This is similar to how different window managers with unified workspaces/desktops
|
|
# across all monitors work (such as qtile or xmonad).
