Named Workspaces

6.5.2. Renaming workspaces

You can rename workspaces. This might be useful to start with the default numbered workspaces, do your work, and rename the workspaces afterwards to reflect what’s actually on them. You can also omit the old name to rename the currently focused workspace. This is handy if you want to use the rename command with i3-input.

i3-msg 'rename workspace to "2: irc"'
            
            bindsym $mod+n exec i3-input -F 'rename workspace to "%s"' -P 'New name: '

Reading 6.5.1. Named workspaces in the User’s Guide. I don’t understand how to do a rename command.
