    i use wm so workspaces. I have them as:

    1. WEB: to spawn all web browsers. Clicking a link in a terminal or a pdf will open a tab or a new browser here.

    2. TERM: to spawn all terminal applications and processes: Htop, ssh, vim windows to edit stuff…etc.

    3. CODE: for GUI code editors like CodeBlocks, VSCode, Emacs. Yes I do use Vim but I prefer the full functions from these.

    4. FILE: any file managers, e.g. pcmanfm, thunar, ranger…etc. I mostly use only one (pcmanfm) and use this workspace when I need to view complicate folder structures.

    5. PDF: I read a lot of papers so usually qpdfview owns this worlspace. I used to have Mendeley here as well.

    6. MEDIA: so any VLC, mplayer will spawn here

    7. TODO: usually some notes I put down on a text editor will show here.

    8. OTHER: the rest.
