When using TMUX, it is easy to create a script, which opens TMUX, configures the screens/panes of TMUX and open/run programs.
I like this a lot.
My baseline would be something like, when I login, some applications are executed and their windows automatically placed on a virtual desktop.
For example:
- Open Firefox and put it on virtual desktop 1
- Open Terminal in fullscreen and put it on virtual desktop 2
- Open VSCode and put it on virtual desktop 3
Something like that is possible with sway, in the environment I am working, sway is not able to run XWayland applications w/o crashing.
Is there any way to have this functionality on Gnome, Mate, Xfce?
Even better would be something to open several windows and arrange them automatically for different work tasks/projects I am working on. Any ideas?
Edit: Solved! Thanks for the input. Auto Move Windows extension for Gnome solves my problem.
I do this with awesomewm. You define window startup behavior in the main config. Applications can have static behavior to start in certain places or will default to “wherever my cursor currently is”. I suspect i3 has similar functionality
