switching between monitors in "Workspaces on primary display only"-mode

[trangius]

I really like this extension. I've now got gnome set up almost as i3, which makes me very happy!

However, there is one behaviour I do not understand. I have the "Workspaces on primary display only"-mode set to true. If I start a window on monitor 2, I always see it there when I switch windows on terminal 1. That is all good.

However, I can only access the window (with keyboard shortcuts, default Super+H/L) on the 2nd monitor if I first go to the workspace that was active when I started the window. If I am on another workspace, I see the window on the 2nd monitor but I will need to use my mouse to go there. I can however go back to the 1st monitor with the keyboard shortcuts.

Is this a bug or is it me missing something in the settings?

Hi @trangiusarien - Workspace on Primary is currently buggy since the tree data structure is borrowed from i3 which expects workspace on each monitor. GNOME's data structure is different or how this extension tries to retro fit i3's
And the focus next, focus previous, up or down relies on this data structure.
Let me see if can revisit this data structure in the future.

Thank you for the detailed answer!
