Named Workspaces

A HyDe-style workspace switcher for the Omarchy bar. Instead of always showing every workspace number, it shows only the workspaces that are occupied (have windows open) or focused, with the name of each workspace's focused window right next to its number.

 1  Firefox   2  Terminal   3

Preview

Focused workspace: number highlighted in the accent color
Occupied workspaces: dimmed number + focused window name
Focused-but-empty workspace: number only, no title
Empty workspaces are hidden entirely
Workspaces are scoped to the focused monitor
Vertical bars show numbers only

Naming

Labels follow the HyDE naming convention. When a window title ends with its application's name, only the app name is shown:

"murdialthaf/omarchy-named-workspaces - Google Chrome"  →  Google Chrome
"SomePage — Mozilla Firefox"                            →  Firefox
"General - Discord"                                     →  Discord

Titles that don't end with an app name are shown as-is:

"OC | Omarchy website"  →  OC | Omarchy website

The full window title is always available in the hover tooltip.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/murdialthaf/omarchy-named-workspaces.git --enable

Usage

Click a workspace number or its window title to switch to that workspace. Hover a title for the full window name.

Configure

The window title is truncated to 15 characters by default. Adjust it per instance in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json:

{
  "bar": {
    "layout": {
      "left": [
        { "id": "omarchy.menu" },
        { "id": "murdi.named-workspaces", "maxChars": 20 }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The bar hot-reloads shell.json on save — no restart needed. Move the widget between bar sections with:

omarchy bar move murdi.named-workspaces --section right

Remove

omarchy plugin remove murdi.named-workspaces
