Description

Hi,

I'm new to Wayfire and wf-shell, so I may be missing something obvious here.

On 0.8.0, the window-list plugin is showing me all the open windows I have, across all workspaces. I currently have 20 workspaces, and regularly have around 50 open windows, so suffice it to say, as it is, it's of very limited use to me.

Is there a way to restrict the list of windows to those on the current workspace? Or is this a feature yet to be added / requiring upstream support? If it'd be an easy enough fix, I might be able to have a look at it, but have very little spare time right now.

Cheers

Research direction

The issue names the window-list plugin but no source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating that plugin’s implementation and checking how it represents windows and workspaces. Done means the list can be restricted to windows on the current workspace, with the behavior verified by an appropriate test or manual check.
