Show which viewport is focused during viewport switching

[vdegenne]

Though hard to implement I imagine, it would be nice to have an option to show a UI element on the screen with which viewport gets the focus when switching using assigned shortcut.

It's fine most of the time but sometimes when using too many viewports and switching a lot, memory gets lost and you have to find your way again, with a UI element it wouldn't happen because our memory has no problem keeping track of what is where, but a loss in relative orientation is what causes confusion while navigating.

Maybe you are looking for the workspace-names plugin from wayfire-plugins-extra?

Maybe you're looking for something along the lines of this. Here's a video. It displays the other workspaces on the side and you can select them.
