i'm curious about OPs point of processing visual queues faster than specific keystrokes. The default config for workspaces is 1 through 9. How is it possible that it's harder to recall a specific workspace than process a visual queue?

None of that makes sense to me

So I'm working on something on workspace N, but I want to peek at a job or browser running on workspace 3, then go back to what I was doing. How do I get back to workspace N without going through "Was I on workspace 5? No, 2? No, 7? Ok, that's where I was."

I used to do this all the time when I was on a laptop as my primary machine, with many things either full screen windows or ~3 windows on the screen, and different tasks on different workspaces. "Back to last workspace" was something I used all the time.
