No — section 4 is about configuration, not about commands that you can
send at runtime.

Maybe inquire the ballistics department? 

Kind regards,

I've also tried this:

i3-msg workspace 5 output DVI-I-3

The following section of the users guide says that should work. However this 
just creates a new workspace with the name "5 output DVI-I-3"

Subject: 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?

Use cardinal directions instead of the output name.[1]
