Hi,

when I have an imv instance running, I can open and view files with

imv-msg PID open "/home/user/pathWithoutSpaces/filename"

followed by

imv-msg PID goto -1

However imv-msg can't open the file if there is a space in the path or in the filename i.e.

imv-msg PID open "/home/user/path With Spaces/filename"

and

imv-msg PID open "/home/user/pathWithoutSpaces/filename with spaces"

both fail

this is the script (unfinished) that I use... example project names:

• 25126-Sambre
• 40687-Mol
• 39047-Lampen

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Get regular workspaces
workspaces=$(swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -c '.nodes[].nodes[] | select(.type | . and contains("workspace")) | select(.name | . and contains("__i3") | not) | .name? ' | grep -E '[[:digit:]]{5}-.*' | tr -d '"'  )

# Select window with rofi
selected=$(echo "$workspaces" | wofi --show dmenu -i --sort-order=alphabetical | awk '{print $1}')

# TODO: check if the selected workspace is the current one. then don't switch !
# TODO: if nothing selected -> cancel

# Tell sway to focus said workspace
# swaymsg [workspace="$selected"] focus
swaymsg workspace "$selected"

Hi, In sway I create workspaces named by my projects. My project names can be filtered using a regex (they all start with 5 numbers followed by a dash). I wrote a bash script which handles this, but as swayr is adding functionalities, this could be a nice addition ;)

You could add this as a --filter option to switch-workspace

Also, this might be nice to add to switch-window too.

works great!

checked it, and empty workspaces are listed correctly. "nodes": [] and "representation": "H[]" are also correctly showing there are no windows in the empty workspace.

works! nice feature :) still, when having multiple monitors (sway calls these "outputs"), the empty workspaces on other monitors are not listed. So I cannot switch to another monitor if the workspace is empty. switching to another monitor when the workspace is not empty is ok.

What about empty workspaces on different output ?

That's international, it can only list what's already in the tree. What non-existent workspaces should it list? I mean, workspaces can have arbitrary names and come into existence not before you switch or move a window to them.

swayr switch-workspace does not seem to list empty workspaces.  I don't know if this is a bug or meant-to-be-feature.  It would be great to at least add an option to also list empty workspaces.
