I've been messing around with writing scripts to do it for me, but I've never been able to directly make it so when I try to move a window to a different workspace (or change workspaces) to stay on the same monitor as I'm using. I think it would be cool to make that a built in feature, I'd work on it myself, but I am not familiar with C++. Hope everyone has a great day!

? please explain better?

You mean that when you switch to a workspace it always appears on your focused monitor?

Yeah sorry I didnt explain well. Basically what I meant was unique workspaces for each monitor. I guess the best X11 comparison would be BSPWM vs DWM, where in BSPWM by default the workspaces are shared between all monitors, but with DWM the tags/workspaces are unique per.

Edit: "You mean that when you switch to a workspace it always appears on your focused monitor?"
This is what I meant, I apologize for asking very badly, is there anyway to do that (with retaining the same keybinds for each monitor)

Is it possible to move the window to another monitor by using the same shortcut as moving a window within the same monitor?

e.g having 3 monitors, moving the window from the right monitor to the left could be; mod+shift+Left and mod+shift+Left again
