Show which viewport is focused during viewport switching
Though hard to implement I imagine, it would be nice to have an option to show a UI element on the screen with which viewport gets the focus when switching using assigned shortcut.
It's fine most of the time but sometimes when using too many viewports and switching a lot, memory gets lost and you have to find your way again, with a UI element it wouldn't happen because our memory has no problem keeping track of what is where, but a loss in relative orientation is what causes confusion while navigating.
Maybe you are looking for the workspace-names plugin from wayfire-plugins-extra?
Maybe you're looking for something along the lines of this. Here's a video. It displays the other workspaces on the side and you can select them.
He likely wants a plugin replicating an old GNOME Shell feature, workspace thumbnails on the right with an active workspace indicator. Mark it as "not planned" since probably no one won't build this...
There is a similar feature in KDE/Plasma.. I am bad at explaining the feature, so here is the image.
This is something I have been wanting to implement.
Edit: Added a cropped image that shows the feature
@marcusbritanicus That's exactly what I had in mind yes, in the center of the screen is good too.
This shouldn't be too hard to implement in a plugin. Requires something similar to workspace-names. The plugin could track plugin activation state changes (vswitch/vswipe) and display an overlay node to indicate what is going on.
