| # By default the behavior is: | |
| # Primary monitor work as always and second monitor only have one and fixed workspace | |
| # I.e. you change to next workspace, primary monitor change to this workspace and second monitor remain as is. | |
| # The desired behaviour is: | |
| # Primary monitor and secondary monitor are linked workspace. | |
| # I.e. you change to next workspace, primary monitor change to this workspace and second monitor too. | |
| $ gconf-editor | |
| # Look for /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary and set to false |
@Hugobsb my current setup, I would say Manjaro default(I do not recall touch anything on this regard)) has workspaces in the external monitor and one fix workspace in the secundary monitor.
There is an open issue since ages requesting it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/37
@rgo hey! Yes, I've found this one a bit later after finding this thread here. It looks like it will stay opened for a long time.
By the way, I'm currently using the other monitor with the workspace fixed. If I ever miss again separate workspaces, I think I'm going back to dwm that supports this feature.

I'm also interested. If anyone ever found that, I'd like to know how.
