About this PR
This PR makes sure special workspaces can be removed. Before this, the code for
Workspaces::remove_workspace()
didn't account for the workspaces starting withspecial:
in their names, which resulted in the workspace not being found and, thus, not being removed.Additional changes
During the investigation of this bug, I also stumbled upon Hyprland creating special workspaces twice. The second workspace always seems to be called
special:
+ the name of the first special workspace, resulting in "doubled specials" (special:special:<some_name>
). This PR also prevents the creation (and deletion) of workspaces namedspecial:special:
, which served no purpose and would linger a few seconds in the user's bar. See hyprwm/Hyprland#3424 for more info.Related PR
