Michael Rodler 6fe764540c sway/workspaces: sort by the "num" property provided by sway, configurable whether numeric workspace names come first
Sway provides the workspace "num" property which is an integer number of
the workspace, i.e., workspace "3" -> 3 and also "3dev" -> "3". This
commit uses this property to sort the workspaces, which makes sense when
persistent workspaces or all-output is specified. This commit also adds
a new configuration option, whether the numeric workspaces come in front
or after workspaces that have non-numeric name.

# NAME
waybar - sway workspaces module
# DESCRIPTION
The *workspaces* module displays the currently used workspaces in Sway.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *sway/workspaces*
*all-outputs*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, workspaces will only be shown on the output they are on. If set to true all workspaces will be shown on every output.
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: {value} ++
The format, how information should be displayed.
*format-icons*: ++
typeof: array ++
Based on the workspace name and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See *icons*.
*disable-scroll*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, you can scroll to cycle through workspaces. If set to true this behaviour is disabled.
*smooth-scrolling-threshold*: ++
typeof: double ++
Threshold to be used when scrolling.
*disable-scroll-wraparound*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, scrolling on the workspace indicator will wrap around to the first workspace when reading the end, and vice versa. If set to true this behavior is disabled.
*enable-bar-scroll*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to false, you can't scroll to cycle throughout workspaces from the entire bar. If set to true this behaviour is enabled.
*disable-markup*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to true, button label will escape pango markup.
*current-only*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
If set to true. Only focused workspaces will be shown.
*persistent_workspaces*: ++
typeof: json (see below) ++
default: empty ++
Lists workspaces that should always be shown, even when non existent
*on-update*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when the module is updated.
*numeric-first*: ++
typeof: bool ++
Whether to put workspaces starting with numbers before workspaces that do not start with a number.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{value}*: Name of the workspace, as defined by sway.
*{name}*: Number stripped from workspace value.
*{icon}*: Icon, as defined in *format-icons*.
*{index}*: Index of the workspace.
# ICONS
Additional to workspace name matching, the following *format-icons* can be set.
- *default*: Will be shown, when no string matches is found.
- *urgent*: Will be shown, when workspace is flagged as urgent
- *focused*: Will be shown, when workspace is focused
- *persistent*: Will be shown, when workspace is persistent one.
# PERSISTENT WORKSPACES
Each entry of *persistent_workspace* names a workspace that should always be shown.
Associated with that value is a list of outputs indicating *where* the workspace should be shown,
an empty list denoting all outputs.
```
"sway/workspaces": {
"persistent_workspaces": {
"3": [], // Always show a workspace with name '3', on all outputs if it does not exists
"4": ["eDP-1"], // Always show a workspace with name '4', on output 'eDP-1' if it does not exists
"5": ["eDP-1", "DP-2"] // Always show a workspace with name '5', on outputs 'eDP-1' and 'DP-2' if it does not exists
}
}
```
n.b.: the list of outputs can be obtained from command line using *swaymsg -t get_outputs*
