That's an interesting analogy, RTS games. I've never thought about it in that way. Although I'm more of an FPS and driving sim person myself. 😁 That looks sort of how I have it setup, but with virtual desktops and fancy zones holding a plethora of apps of a certain "topic" on each desktop in a grid with minimal app overlap. And switching between desktops(/"topics") with a single macro-key press. However, I'm not down in the nitty gritty like that guy is.
Btw, why Sway over Hyprland?
