I am totally new to i3 and am coming from tilix. So far I love i3. In tilix I used to jump from windows to window using the $mod+numberOfWindow. But I can't find out how to
With workspaces it automaticly assigns numbers and we can jump to them. How can I activate this for windows?
greetings!
Put this in your i3 config at ~/.config/i3/config
I don't really the concept of numbered windows. When we have multiple windows you can move around with focus.
bindsym $mod+Left focus left
bindsym $mod+Down focus down
bindsym $mod+Up focus up
bindsym $mod+Right focus right
In i3, we have workspaces displayed in i3bar displayed by numbers You can jump to that workspace using$mod+number
When we have multiple workspaces, then I use these bindings to move left and right workspaces
bindsym $mod+bracketleft workspace prev
bindsym $mod+bracketright workspace next
bindsym $mod+Left workspace prev
bindsym $mod+Right workspace next
In each workspace, we have different windows. I personally prefer to use vim keybindings to jump to different windows
# change focus
bindsym $mod+h focus left
bindsym $mod+j focus down
bindsym $mod+k focus up
bindsym $mod+l focus right
For urgent workspace, usebindsym $mod+x [urgent=latest] focus
Edit 1
I've found further options for assigning workspace names along with numbers. There is also one rust script, which I found on github. It names the workspaces based on what application is opened in that workspace. It can be found on github at github.com/roosta/i3wsr
Also, there's one issue here . Make sure to check it out.

For naming windows, there are vim like marks, well documented in i3wm's documentation. Here's the link
I personally prefer, something like github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus It works similar to chrome extension Vimium.
