Adding a Workspace in Omarchy

This setup automatically detects the current number of linked workspaces in Omarchy/Hyprland and adds one additional linked workspace pair.

For example:

• Workspace 1 → 1 + 11
• Workspace 2 → 2 + 12
• Workspace 3 → 3 + 13
• Workspace 4 → 4 + 14
• Workspace 5 → 5 + 15
• Workspace 6 → 6 + 16

Running the script again will automatically add the next pair.

Add the Next Workspace

Paste the following entire block into the terminal:

HYPR="$HOME/.config/hypr"
LINKED="$HYPR/linked-workspaces.lua"
MONITORS="$HYPR/monitors.lua"
STAMP="$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"

echo "===== CURRENT LINKED WORKSPACES ====="

CURRENT=$(grep -oP 'local PAIRS = \K[0-9]+' "$LINKED")

if [ -z "$CURRENT" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: Could not determine current PAIRS value."
    exit 1
fi

NEXT=$((CURRENT + 1))

echo "Current workspace pairs: $CURRENT"
echo "Adding workspace pair:    $NEXT"
echo "New pair will be:         $NEXT + $((NEXT + 10))"

echo
echo "===== BACKUP CONFIGURATION ====="

cp "$LINKED" "$LINKED.backup-$STAMP"
cp "$MONITORS" "$MONITORS.backup-$STAMP"

echo "Backups created."

echo
echo "===== UPDATE LINKED WORKSPACES ====="

sed -i \
    "s/local PAIRS = $CURRENT/local PAIRS = $NEXT/" \
    "$LINKED"

sed -i \
    "s/for pair = 1, $CURRENT do/for pair = 1, $NEXT do/" \
    "$MONITORS"
