When using TMUX, it is easy to create a script, which opens TMUX, configures the screens/panes of TMUX and open/run programs.

I like this a lot.

My baseline would be something like, when I login, some applications are executed and their windows automatically placed on a virtual desktop.

For example:

  • Open Firefox and put it on virtual desktop 1
  • Open Terminal in fullscreen and put it on virtual desktop 2
  • Open VSCode and put it on virtual desktop 3

Something like that is possible with sway, in the environment I am working, sway is not able to run XWayland applications w/o crashing.

Is there any way to have this functionality on Gnome, Mate, Xfce?

Even better would be something to open several windows and arrange them automatically for different work tasks/projects I am working on. Any ideas?

Edit: Solved! Thanks for the input. Auto Move Windows extension for Gnome solves my problem.

    Native Window Placement I think it’s called, I’m not in front of the computer. It’s installed by default at least in Debian. And gTile for tiling.
