Roughly speaking, my Sway config:

- Assigns most apps to a specific workspace

- Assigns the standard hotkeys to focus specific workspaces

- Assigns a hotkey for Rofi to filter and focus apps directly

- Assigns hotkeys to move a workspace to the current output/display

- Sets hotkeys to move a workspace 1 output left/right

Now I can quickly bring the most relevant contexts for a task to each display, and can also quickly switch to another context and back as needed.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I'd like some apps to be on multiple workspaces, for example. And I am exploring the idea of a way to search for and bring an app onto the main display as a centered float temporarily then dismiss it back to where it came from with a single key — for example to bring up a Slack channel front and centre, reply to a message, then quickly dismiss it again.
