Workspaces: Add Workspaces Panel
-
Background
This suggestion comes from several pain points I've had with 1 or more bugs with Vivaldi that causes either the browser to not show tabs within a workspace, or fails to restore workspace + tabs in each workspace resulting in a huge amount of work to get back to a working state prior to the bug.
This suggestion also due to the lack of these features in the Windows Panel. However, I believe it would be better to do the following, rather than add the functionality to the Windows Panel as that seems to serve a different purpose.
Suggestion
Add a Workspaces Panel that has the following functionality:
- Contains workspaces only
- Ability to delete 1 or more workspace at a time
- Ability to save and restore workspaces (see suggestion: Workspaces: Improve Backup/Restore Functionality and separate from Sessions)
In additional, contains functionality from the current Workspaces dropdown menu:
- to switch between workspaces
- to reorder workspaces
- to rename workspaces
- to customize icons for workspaces
- to create new workspaces
-
Some of these ideas are great.
I agree it should work similarly to the dropdown menu. However, I don't think it needs to be a separate panel.
We just need a way to view less clutter.Ideally, a few simple enhancements would suffice.
a) an option to right-click to minimise other workspaces, leaving only the current one open at the top.
b) an option to drag and rearrange workspaces
