Question regarding toggling between workspaces

[Teresa e Junior]

I would be interested if you can find a native solution for that as
well. One workaround you can try is creating a shortcut for a shell
script that saves the current desktop - the output of `xdotool
get_desktop` to a file, and switches to the desired desktop with
`xdotool set_desktop`.
