One thing to keep in mind here is that if a user action results in a new tab or dialog opening in an existing window on another workspace, this option would give absolutely no feedback to the user, it would appear like a broken system/program. This regularly happens with for example Firefox windows when you click a link in a different program (Firefox likes to open things in the last window that was used), or with the confirmation dialog in KeepassXC when the browser extension requests a password from the database. I could see a lot of bug reports coming if this consequence is not made clear to the user, or ideally if it could be worked around. I agree with cwo, yeah. I think this is something we have to say no to, sorry. It might be a benefit for specialized and niche use cases, but it would break more general ones for people who used the setting. Unfortunately I don't know too much of the technical aspects to help out here. Thanks for considering it regardless! |
