Automatic workspace creation script for i3 tiling window manager (http://i3wm.org/). Sway is also supported (https://swaywm.org/).
Put i3-new-workspace script to any directory in your $PATH. This script
depends only on bash built-in methods and i3-msg/swaymsg (comes as part
of i3/Sway distribution).
Add something like this to your i3/config file:
# press ~ to claim a new workspace
bindsym $mod+grave exec --no-startup-id i3-new-workspace
# press ~ + Shift to move current container to a new workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+grave exec --no-startup-id i3-new-workspace -m
# press ~ + Alt to carry (move and focus) current container to a new workspace
bindsym $mod+Mod1+grave exec --no-startup-id i3-new-workspace -c
