6 i3 - This module monitors i3 and sway workspaces
7
9 Unlike other modules where the content attribute is just a single par‐
10 ticle, the i3 module's content is an associative array mapping i3/sway
11 workspace names to a particle.
12 You can add an empty workspace name, "", as a catch-all workspace par‐
14 ticle. The i3 module will fallback to this entry if it cannot find the
15 workspace name in the content map.
16 It also recognizes the special name current, which always represents
18 the currently focused workspace. On Sway, this can be used together
19 with the application and title tags to replace the X11-only xwindow
20 module.
