However, many users find themselves needing more than the limit of 10 workspaces. Cluttered workspaces or rearranging windows becomes a hassle as the number of open applications increases. + +Workspace Grouping introduces a flexible system that allows for an unlimited number of workspaces (within Hyprland's limit), organized into groups for streamlined navigation and management. + +## Key Features + +- **Scalable Workspaces**: Go beyond the 10-workspace limit without cluttering workspace bar or overview widget. Create as many workspaces as needed without compromising organization. +- **Workspace Groups**: Workspaces are automatically divided into groups of 10 (e.g., 1-10, 11-20, 21-30). The active workspace determines the visible group in the bar. +- **Focused Navigation**: The workspace bar dynamically updates to reflect the currently active group. A single dot '•' decoration highlights the active workspace within the group for clarity. +- **Enhanced Overview**: The overview widget (`SUPER`) mirrors the workspace-grouping concept, only the workspaces in active groups are shown. +- **Keybind Support**: Hyprland keybinds adapt seamlessly to this feature. + - Pressing `Super` + `3` moves you to workspace 3 if your current workspace is 1-10, or workspace 13 if your current workspace is 11-20. + +## Benefits + + - **Multitasking Mastery**: Effortlessly switch between different tasks or projects by dedicating workspace groups to specific contexts. + - **Decluttered Environment**: Maintain a clean and organized desktop experience, even with a high number of workspaces. + - **Multi-Monitor Power**: Create monitor-specific workspace groups for an [awesome-wm](https://awesomewm.org/) inspired workflow. + - E.g. 1-10 in monitor-1, 11-20 in monitor-2, 21-30 in monitors-3, and so on. + +## Navigation & Workspace Management + + - **Navigating / moving workspaces within a group**: Standard Hyprland keybinds apply. + - `Super` + `2` navigates to workspace 2 if the current workspace is within 1-10 (group 1). + - `Super` + `2` navigates to workspace 12 if the current workspace is within 11-20 (group 2). + - `Super` + `Alt` + `3` silently moves the focused window to workspace 3 if the current workspace is within 1-10 (group 1). + - `Super` + `Alt` + `3` silently moves the focused window to workspace 13 if the current workspace is within 11-20 (group 2). + - **Navigating between groups**: + - Spawn a new workspace in the next group by navigating beyond the last workspace of the current group. E.g., Press `Super` + `0` to move to workspace 10, and then press `Control` + `Super` + `Right` to move to the next workspace, i.e. 11 in the next group. + - Alternatively, you can scroll with the cursor over workspace bar to quickly navigate to the next group. + - Consider adding following Hyprland keybinds for direct group jumps. + ```ini title="keybinds.conf" + bind = SUPER ALT, Z, workspace, r-10 + bind = SUPER ALT, X, workspace, r+10 + ``` + - The overview widget also provides versatile window and workspace management.

Get all your monitor names using `hyprctl monitors | grep Monitor`. + ```ini title="hyprland.conf" + # Bind workspaces 1-10 (group 1) to primary monitor + workspace = 1, monitor:eDP-1, default:true + workspace = 2, monitor:eDP-1, default:true + workspace = 3, monitor:eDP-1, default:true + workspace = 4, monitor:eDP-1, default:true + workspace = 5, monitor:eDP-1, default:true + ... + + # Bind workspaces 11-20 (group 2) to secondary monitor + workspace = 11, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true + workspace = 12, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true + workspace = 13, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true + workspace = 14, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true + workspace = 15, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true + ... + ``` + - Focus on two workspaces at a time on each monitor and move/swap windows across monitor/groups (using `Super` + `Left/Right/Up/Down` or `Super` + `Shift` + `Left/Right/Up/Down`) as needed. + +:::note +Workspace groups is not natively supported in Hyprland, AGS or any status bar programs like Waybar/Polybar.
