@YaLTeR I've just started testing Niri and so far I like what I see and what's possible. I do however have a question though. When I open Niri and I have no windows open in any workspace. Is it a feature or a bug where by if I do mod + 2 to open workspace 2 then mod + T to open my foot terminal. The terminal does open but only on workspace 1 . However if I open a browser say on WS 1 then move to WS 2 I can open foot on WS 2 . Also if I open a window on WS 1 and then try to open a window on WS 3 it only opens on WS 2.
Am I doing something wrong or is this how Niri works ? -

@justine @YaLTeR niri will always have an empty workspace at the bottom, and it will remove empty workspaces that aren't at the bottom (or bottom-1 if bottom is empty)
When you open foot on ws#2, niri creates ws#3. But then ws#1 is empty, isn't bottom-1 anymore, and it gets destroyed, and the other two move up.
If you open a browser on #1, then it isn't empty, and does not get cleaned up.
If you want workspaces to remain static, named workspaces do that, they do not get destroyed when empty. You can name them "#1", "#2", etc
