bindsym $mod+Right focus right
move the focused window with the same, but add Shift

Note: workspaces can have any name you want, not just numbers. We just use 1-10 as the default.
You can “split” the current object of your focus with $mod+b or $mod+v, for horizontal and vertical splits respectively.
bindsym $mod+b splith
bindsym $mod+v splitv
Switch the current container between different layout styles
#bindsym $mod+s layout stacking
#bindsym $mod+c layout toggle split
Make the current focus fullscreen
bindsym $mod+Shift+f fullscreen
Toggle the current focus between tiling and floating mode
#bindsym $mod+Shift+space floating toggle
Swap focus between the tiling area and the floating area
#bindsym $mod+space focus mode_toggle
move focus to the parent container

Sway has a “scratchpad”, which is a bag of holding for windows. You can send windows there and get them back later.
Move the currently focused window to the scratchpad
bindsym $mod+Shift+minus move scratchpad
Show the next scratchpad window or hide the focused scratchpad window. If there are multiple scratchpad windows, this command cycles through them.
bindsym $mod+minus scratchpad show
