Hi Nicholas,

You can use i3-msg to do this from the command line. I use a
combination of i3-msg and dmenu to do this.

Hi Kareem,

I was thinking vaguely to do things like that but didn't get to the
idea
of using dmenu! For sure your approach will be mine (but I think I'll
do it in some mix of Python and bash maybe that will be flawlessly
integrated together with my bunch of wmii scripts).

Thanks a lot!

Nicolas

Hi,

I've been a find of https://github.com/proxypoke/quickswitch-for-i3.
It provide for switching between workspaces:
https://github.com/proxypoke/quickswitch-for-i3#workspaces

Thanks,

After using quickswitch for a couple of years, I've recently switched to rofi
(https://davedavenport.github.io/rofi/), and can highly recommend looking into
that as well. Highlights include dmenu compatibility, pango font rendering and
a sweet ssh launcher.

Besides, I think the quickswitch project is pretty much unmaintained these
days, which is what triggered my looking for a replacement in the first place.
