Hello. When I press CTRL+O, the only option I see is to open a list of spaces.

However, I would like the ability to navigate through this list using the arrow keys and, for example, to reorder the items as I see fit.

Additionally, I would like to request the option to add the opening of a specific space as a command within the CTRL+O menu.

There is the command `Workspaces: Load workspace layout`, and you can map that to a hotkey. (If that’s not the command you’re already referring to.)

Or did you mean choosing one workspace that you trigger automatically?

I’m not sure which command you’re referring to, since you’re mentioning a hotkey, rather than the specific command, and I don’t think any of the workspaces commands have hotkeys by default. But when I run the command to open a workspace, I’m able to use the arrow keys. (There’s no manual sort, as far as I know. But arrow keys should work.)

1. I was mistaken about the arrows; I admit it. I just repeated the experiment, and it worked.
2. What I mean is that when creating a space, it would be better to have a separate command for each individual space in the command menu. This would eliminate an extra step—having to make a selection. For instance, it would allow me to create a button that opens a specific space whenever it’s pressed.
3. Yes, the ability to manually sort spaces in the list is definitely something that’s missing.
