Detect if current workspace is empty then automatically move to workspace Z

[mvaneijgen]

I would love to check when a window closes if the current workspace is empty and then switch to a workspace of my choosing

Steps

1. Doing something in workspace X
2. Closes current window in workspace X, which is the only window left in this workspace
3. Workspace is now empty
4. Automatically move to workspace Z

• I've searched for duplicates. My search queries were:
  • detect empty workspace
  • empty workspace
• I've read the guide https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide
• I've searched in the documentation (https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide & https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/commands). My search queries were:
  • empty
• Also Search for configs by other users on GitHub for inspiration
  • https://github.com/search?q=detect+empty+path%3A*aerospace.toml&type=code

I have the feeling this should be possible with the knowledge in the docs, but with the info I've gathered I can't see how to combine everything in to a function that does this. I would love some sort of "cookbook" in the docs with examples and descriptions how to do certain things, that allows me personally to easier adept things to my own needs. Happily volunteer to write some things out!

Couldn't you bind a key to close all windows then move to z?

Or simply close all windows and move to z yourself? I don't think something like this needs a builtin feature.

Edit:

You could implement something like this with exec-and-forget

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$(aerospace list-windows --focused)" ]; then
  aerospace workspace z
