I would like to move application windows from one workspace to other worskpace.

What I want

If I have two workspaces workspace1 and workspace2:

workspace1
old_test1 old_test2 new_test3

workspace2
new_test1 new_test2

What I did so far

I used wmctrl and it's working fine but I have to specify the entire name of the window that I want to move. I can move new_test3 to workspace2.

However I would like to do something smarter, instead of have to put the whole name I want to use a regular expression (something like wmctrl *new* ) so all the windows that matches the regex new are moved to the workspace2.

Do you know if there is a way of doing this?

Many thanks

  • I think this will help you https://askubuntu.com/a/240454/52310 – imbr Feb 27 '20 at 11:22
  • Apparently this solution is not working for me... the usage of regular expression does not seem to work with this code – Massimo Ferretti Feb 27 '20 at 14:49
  • Well sorry, than I think your best option is to create a bash or python scrip to list the windows oppened and then move them by some regular expression you desire – imbr Feb 27 '20 at 17:36
