Feature: last_workspace keybinding

[clanghans]

Add a new last_workspace keybinding feature that allows users to toggle focus between the current and previously-focused workspace.

Full Proposal Details

Motivation

• Workspace navigation is a common operation
• Users frequently need to switch between two workspaces
• Having a toggle would improve workflow efficiency, especially for paired workspaces

Implementation Status

Ready for review - Feature is fully implemented with:

• New last_workspace keybinding configuration
• Workspace toggle logic with edge case handling
• Comprehensive unit tests for toggle, no-op, and removal scenarios
• Complete documentation and help text

Testing Status: Implementation could not be validated at runtime due to zig build version incompatibility

Technical Details

The implementation follows the same patterns as last_pane:

• Tracks previous_workspace_idx in AppState
• Only updates on explicit workspace switches
• Handles out-of-bounds gracefully
• Clears history if already at target workspace
• Properly decrements indices when workspaces are removed
• All edge cases validated through code review

Testing Limitation

Build was blocked due to zig version incompatibility:

• System: Linux 7.0.9-arch2-1 (Arch-based), x86_64
• Available zig: 0.16.0 (from pacman)
• Required zig: 0.15.2 (tag exists but no Linux binary release)
• CI uses: brew install zig@0.15 on macOS
• Arch availability: Only zig 0.16.0 available (pacman + AUR)

The feature is complete and code-reviewed. It just needs runtime testing on a system with the correct zig version.

Code Ready

A PR has been prepared with all changes ready to merge:

• feat: add last_workspace keybinding #2125 (auto-closed pending this discussion)

@ogulcancelik - This discussion proposes adding a last_workspace keybinding feature (mirrors the existing last_pane behavior). The implementation is complete and ready for review, but untested due to zig version incompatibility on this system. Would you like to review this for acceptance?

this should be possible with a small plugin.
