I have the problem that some apps are slow to start up, so I want to be able to run a command and continue to work in another workspace while I wait for the application to start. I want the application to start in the workspace it was run in.
How can I configure i3 to do this?
There must be some technique either using placeholder windows that swallow up the windows you want or by tagging the window to be opened with a workspace number and configuring i3 to recognize those tags and place the window on the appropriate workspace.
I'm surprised there is not a simple solution built in.
