bspwm desktop management that supports dymanic appending, removing, and renaming
Often times a workflow for a given day can't be defined by a set number of desktops with constant names. Btops enables you to define your workspaces based on what you're doing so you don't have worry about things like putting your applications in their respective desktops, running out of desktops, or leaving desktops unused and empty.
btops supports config files in toml, json, and yaml format. It'll look in the following places for config files:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/btops/config.*
~/.config/btops/config.*
Below are the different configuration options available. Please look at examples for example usage

|---|---|---|---|
| min | Int | Minimum number of desktops per monitor | 1 |
| max | Int | Maximum number of desktops per monitor | infinity |
| remove-empty | Bool | Removes empty desktops | true |
| append-when-occupied | Bool | Appends a new desktop when all other desktops are occupied | true |
| watch-config | Bool | Reload btops on next event when configuration changes | true |
| renamers | []String | Order of renamers to use for renaming desktops. If a given renamer is unable to rename a desktop, it cascades to the next renmaer | ["numeric"] |
