# This script requires i3ipc-python package (install it from a system package manager
# or pip).
# It adds icons to the workspace name for each open window.
# Set your keybindings like this: set $workspace1 workspace number 1
# Add your icons to WINDOW_ICONS.
# Based on https://github.com/maximbaz/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/i3-autoname-workspaces
