If you don't mind me replying in place of the orginal poster:

Sway is just i3 for Wayland, which in turn means you have multiple workspaces (which are also potentially mapped to multiple monitors). You assign workspace a label (number, or text, or emoji), and you may also bind some application to always open on that workspace. Or you just get a habit of putting specific applications to only specific workspaces. Your entire navigation then sits in your muscle memory - finger on the mod key (win or alt or ctrl - whatever), another finger on the digits row for the workspace index - and you're there.

It's a tiling WM, so you don't spend time arranging windows - they already take the full desktop real estate evenly split between them, and you can also adjust size of each window separately. Again, this sits in your muscle memory.

Point is - no mouse is needed to navigate through workspaces and windows.

Thanks for that blog post! I have been meaning to tip my toes into nix for a while now, this might actually push me to it. How long have you been using nix for? How do you like it?

Something like for 3 years. Absolutely fascinated by it. Writing a book about it too: https://drakerossman.com/blog/practical-nixos-the-book
