Move apps back to their default/previous workspace (after already moved)

[oschrenk]

I only have a handful of workspaces. One the them is a "tiling workspace" I send two apps for tiling - that might not be intended by aerospace, not sure.

I have a script that picks two windows

export OBSIDIAN_ID=$(aerospace list-windows --monitor all --app-bundle-id "md.obsidian" | cut -d '|' -f 1 | xargs)
export ARC_ID=$(aerospace list-windows --monitor all --app-bundle-id "company.thebrowser.Browser" | cut -d '|' -f 1 | xargs)

aerospace focus --window-id $OBSIDIAN_ID
aerospace move-node-to-workspace "t"

aerospace focus --window-id $ARC_ID
aerospace move-node-to-workspace "t"

aerospace workspace "t"

So that I have a tiling setup.

How can I move back the two apps to their original/default workspace

My config has:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'md.obsidian'
run       = 'move-node-to-workspace 1'

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'company.thebrowser.Browser'
run       = 'move-node-to-workspace 2'

But how can I send back the apps to their respective "default" or previous workspace?

BTW, this:

aerospace focus --window-id $OBSIDIAN_ID
aerospace move-node-to-workspace "t"

aerospace focus --window-id $ARC_ID
aerospace move-node-to-workspace "t"

can be simplified to this:

aerospace move-node-to-workspace --window-id $OBSIDIAN_ID "t"

aerospace move-node-to-workspace --window-id $ARC_ID "t"

Subscribed to #107 - it's a bit confusing to read (as there are 2-3 topics discussed) but running the window detection programmatically would solve the issue.

Thank you for the syntax improvements! I was actually wondering why I need to focus the window before - turns out I actually don't need to.
