I'm aware that independent workspaces per monitor is something that would need to be implemented in Gnome shell: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/37

However, I believe it's a feature that absolutely fits Pop shell's goal of bringing i3-like functionality to Gnome. For this reason, I've decided to post it here, too, to see whether Pop OS maintainers can do anything about this in Pop shell without needing upstream changes, and in the worst of cases, to document the answer to this question for Pop shell specifically.

For completion, here's a description of my feature request:

Multi-head mode

Gnome shell can be configured in two different workspace/display interaction modes:

1. Workspaces span multiple displays. This makes it so that multiple displays will show the same workspace always.
2. Workspaces on primary display only. Additional displays can show windows but they don't belong to the workspace system.

I would like to have a third option:

3. Multi-head mode: displays/monitors can have their own workspaces, and they're independent of each other. I can have workspaces 1 and 3 on display 2, and workspaces 2, 4 on display 1. This is the way i3 (and most, if not all, tiling window managers) works.

I think this would be a wonderful addition to the changes Pop shell brings to Gnome. To reiterate: I'm aware that this probably needs Gnome shell involvement (as per the issue linked above), but the feature fits Pop shell so well that I think it's worth documenting an answer.

Thank you for your amazing work!
