[i3] How to move workspace by name to a given named output
i3-msg move workspace 6 to output DVI-I-3 I am trying to move a named workspace to a named output. The command above does not seem to work. Rather it moves the current window to a new workspace with the name 6 to output DVI-I-3 How can I achieve this? - This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain information that is company confidential or privileged.

[i3] Python save/append layout - toolbar auto-hide bug
I have written my own python script to append a workspace layout to a workspace. As part of this it also creates the workspace on the fly. The script will automatically append a layout to a named workspace and launch applications that will get swallowed by that workspace upon launch. It works fine, except for one small detail. Once the applications get swallowed everything looks fine. I see the applications in their proper layout and I see the toolbar that shows the workspaces (including the newly created one). However as soon as I move the cursor the toolbar disappears (the layout expands to cover it). If I kill the applications in that workspace then the toolbar becomes visible again. The layout file is generated by another python script that I created. It mimics i3-save-tree (except that it does not have the i3-save-tree bug that I mentioned previously). I'm sure that I'm doing something slightly wrong with the layout file creation. Yet as I said this mechanism is almost working perfectly.
