Easier access to switch spaces and spaces rename

Open Anthonyy232 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

What feature would you like to see?

Hi, would it be possible to get an option to change the switching of spaces to icons so it goes from two clicks to one click? Something like how ARC does it, or something else if you have something better in mind -- ease of access is ideal. This could be an option toggle in the settings or something for the current method or this method. I'm not sure if this is in your vision for the browser, just putting this out there. image

Also, any option to rename default space/delete default space? I like to have a home and a work space, but this is seems to be the limit I could change it to. image

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

please design it so that it works with many workspaces, like 20 or more.

I'm not really sure how that would be possible while maintaining a one click access functionality

I'm not a coder, but conceptually it [one click] would be possible IF it's possible to have hovering over the Workspaces button then automagically pop-up a menu list of all extant Workspaces, for the user to then simply move her pointer down / along the list to click on her desired one.

That would be great. I use Sideberry and have the spaces at the top too. I think it is wasted space to have a single big button to switch between workspaces.

I use the Horizontal workspaces option in Sideberry, similar to how SigmaOS does it, which works really well for a lot of workspaces. That would be my preferred pattern, especially if #279 is implemented.

Yeah, I'd ideally want this to work like it does in the above comment. That's also how it works in Opera and Floorp, and this feature is actually the only feature keeping me from switching to Zen from Floorp.

Alternatively, I'd also be fine with it working more like Simple Tab Groups (at least when it's used as a sidebar for vertical tabs), where you can click on the top to switch your tabs list to a list of your workspaces.

Either is fine, but the current option is definitely very lacking.
