comboviewwsbyname

Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
comboviewwsbyname	string (workspace name)	Super+<number>

The comboviewwsbyname function changes the view to the workspace with a given name.

The default configuration is such that the keybinding of Super+6 will change the view to workspace 6.

The combo mechanic allows for multiple number keys to be held down to view multiple workspaces, e.g. Super+7+9 will bring both workspace 7 and 9 into view.

The selected workspace when using this feature will be the workspace the mouse cursor is on.

If the mouse cursor is resting on the bar or is on another monitor then the selected workspace will be the last one that was enabled. I.e. Super+7+9 would result in workspace 9 to be the selected one whereas Super+9+7 would let workspace 7 have focus.

If the user then does Super+8 then the view will change to workspace 8. If the user runs Super+8 a second time then the view will revert to the previous view, workspace 7 and 9 in this case.

There are no external commands for this function.
