I love and do the same thing with Raycast! But mostly with apps that do not have a designated "workspace".

Most of the time, I only have Spotify, chat clients, my browser, and the terminal open. And I do prefer every one of them just having a fixed place behind a shortcut, which at this point is just muscle memory.

So you have a workspace for each of those? Do they persist after reboot?

Do you use iTerm2 or Terminal.app, and tmux?

Yes, exactly, a workspace for each one of those. A snippet from my Aerospace config:

  [[on-window-detected]]
  if.app-id = 'com.microsoft.teams2'
  run = 'move-node-to-workspace 7'
  
  [[on-window-detected]]
  if.app-id = 'com.hnc.Discord'
  run = 'move-node-to-workspace 8'
  
  [[on-window-detected]]
  if.app-id = 'com.spotify.client'
  run = 'move-node-to-workspace 9'
They're 'persisted' in the sense that when I open them, they automatically open in their relevant workspace. You can also make them auto-start, so when your system boots up, they'll be in the right place.
