Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Enhancer
sdias/win-10-virtual-desktop-enhancer on github is written in autohotkey. No need to install, which is more light-weighted than VirtuaWin.
It's configurations are all in settings.ini, easy to edit, view and save.
Its taskbar icon is a digital number, which is clear to see as VirtuaWin.
To make its shortcuts more i3wm-style, modify its configs as followings:
SwitchDesktop=Alt
MoveWindowToDesktop=Alt, Shift
However, it conflicts with tmux configurations.
When you SSH to a remote, open tmux there, and press Alt-2,
you can't jump to window no.2 in tmux.
Instead you jump to the virtual desktop no.2.
To fix this, modify the ~/.tmux.conf as follows:
bind -n M-. command-prompt
bind -n M-a select-window -t 1
bind -n M-s select-window -t 2
bind -n M-d select-window -t 3
bind -n M-f select-window -t 4
bind -n M-g select-window -t 5
bind -n M-u select-window -t 6
bind -n M-i select-window -t 7
bind -n M-o select-window -t 8
bind -n M-9 select-window -t 9
Note: m0ngr31/VirtualDesktopManager on github is another option. But its taskbar icon is very hard to see.
