  • (2022-10-16) Jon Rowlands: Love it. Simple and works great. One request: it's hard-coded to always tile the screen exactly in halves. Would be wonderful if, after the user has dragged the tile edges into some other proportion, the move and resize keys respected those edges. Thank you, though, great work.

  • (2020-03-13) Joyce Zhou: It's great. Does the job. A few things to make it even better: 1. Allow users to name their workspaces. Instead of "workspace 1", "workspace 2", I'd really like to see them as "debug XXX", "XXX issue work" 2. I think there are some compatibility issue with this extension and multiple screens. When I have 2 screens, sometimes, when I switch workspaces, all windows will squeeze themselves into one screen. This doesn't always happen but I definitely have seen it happen.
  • (2018-10-25) mynexthome 4rent: Does absolutely NOTHING! I have played around adjusting keyboard shortcuts but does NOTHING when pressed. IF there are other instructions to make this work, I do not see them anywhere.
  • (2018-10-01) Alican Gök: This extension fills one of the most, if not the most important missing productivity features for Chrome OS. Works perfectly, although I would have loved it even more if it supported finger gestures, such as a three finger drag to switch between workspaces (I assume this is a limitation of the OS)
  • (2018-08-16) Iliya Yordanov: great
  • (2018-07-22) Weyland Yutani: What was sadly lacking in ChromeOS is now happily in place. Just curious: what language(s) do you use to develop extensions? I was thinking of learning ARM Assembler. Would that be a good idea? (I was a mainframe IBM Assembler programmer long ago. I know the fundamentals. Still miss it.)
  • (2017-10-29) Earl Wagner: As soon as I seen this I became overly excited. The main reason I haven't forced myself to use ChromeOS and instead use Ubuntu via Crouton is because Multiple Workspaces are essential to me. Unfortunately every time I would swap between workspaces the existing chrome window closes and a new tab page gets opened. I am definitely looking forward to this and want to say great start. I might even contribute in the near future.

  • (2021-11-02, v:0.9.8) Brett Humphreys: Recently stopped working on all chromebooks
    Hi, Recently (maybe the last 1 month) this extension stopped working for me on 2 chromebooks and a chromebox. I'm currently running version 94 of Chrome OS.
  • (2020-05-26, v:0.9.8) Tomasz Rochumski: Workspace list
    It would be handy to see all workspaces summarized on one page
  • (2020-05-26, v:0.9.8) Tomasz Rochumski: Moving window to workspace
    It would be useful to be able to move windows between workspaces. For example: - switch to workspace - restore window from different workspace - use "move current window to current workspace" function :)
  • (2018-10-25, v:0.9.7) mynexthome 4rent: Does NOTHING
    Changing keyboard shortcuts to get it to activate does nothing. Not sure how to make this work.
  • (2018-07-22, v:0.9.7) Weyland Yutani: Next and Previous should loop
    I mean it would be good if both Next and Previous traversed all workspaces. 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1 -> 2, etc, and in reverse. This is a lovely tool so far (less than 2 weeks). Possibly the most useful extension I use on ChromeOS. Thank you.
  • (2018-03-26, v:0.9.6.1) Jay Goldberg: Offer ability to go to workspaces by hotkey
    Call workspace 1 with Alt+Shift+1 for example. As of now you can only page forward and backward between spaces.
