…array, e.g., reordering and inserting/deleting empties. An addition for examples of `xdotool` usage. This is a working example I have used in parallel with the Ubuntu 18.04 / Gnome WM to make managing desktops much easier. By binding these function to keys the following fundtions are provided:: - move the desktops up or down in the ordered list, - insert empty desktops anywhere, - purge all the empty desktops Can be used in conjunction with Gnome's bird's eye view of the desktops (Super+a, Super+a, move mouse to right edge). Requires Gnome "dynamic/static desktop" option to be set to static - because this program performs it's own dynamic. Because `xdotool` does not depend on Gnome, this program could probably work with other WM's using a linear array of desktops.
