I would like to start lxterminal in both workspace 1 and workspace 2.



The end of ~/.config/i3/config file looks like this:



exec --no-startup-id i3-msg 'workspace 1; exec /usr/bin/lxterminal'
exec --no-startup-id i3-msg 'workspace 2; exec /usr/bin/lxterminal'
exec --no-startup-id i3-msg 'workspace 3; exec /usr/bin/firefox'


Resulting in opening 2 instances of lxterminal in workspace 1




window-manager i3

    You can use i3's assign to make sure a window with some specific attributes always ends up on a specific workspace. I use this to make terminals appear on specific workspaces using assign [instance="term1"] → 1 and launch my terminal (st) with -c term1 to have that particular instance show up on workspace 1. However, I don't know if you can assign an instance name like this with lxterminal. Maybe look into its profile features and how it affects X properties (use xprop to find these), or consider using another terminal if that's an option.

  • I had a similar problem at some point, and solved it simply by gathering the i3-msg commands, i.e. i3-msg 'workspace 1; exec /usr/bin/lxterminal; workspace 2; exec /usr/bin/lxterminal. I think this way of writing the commands will force i3 to execute them sequentially. Not sure this is actually the explanation or that it will work for you...

  • @Rastapopoulos Could you please write it more precisely? I tried it exactly as you written it and it doesn't work.

  • I see that I forgot the final quote, but I guess that's not the error you encounter?
