Allow manually removing or rearranging workspaces about notion HOT 4 OPEN

@dalaidakkar great, thanks! so what needs to be done here is that we document this 😄

The lua console is 'notionflux' - @wilhelmy has recently done some great improvements to this tool. To get access to these improvements, you'll have to build Notion from source.

I had some luck reattaching an accidentally detached (via the context menu) WGroupWS:

lua> ioncore.current():manager():manager():manager():manager()
WGroupWS: 0x7616f8
lua> s=ioncore.goto_next_screen()
nil
lua> s
WScreen: 0x764498
lua> ioncore.current():screen_of()
WScreen: 0x54b118
lua> s:attach( ioncore.current():manager():manager():manager():manager())
WGroupWS: 0x7616f8

This could be a basis for moving workspaces around between screens.

you can already move and even nest workspaces inside a frame:

1. go to workspace you want to detach
2. context menu on any tab > workspace > toogle tag
3. go to target workspace / frame
4. menu on destiny frame tab > attach tagged
   (can get a little confusing at first) also first save your session in case you want to restore your previous layout just exit and log back.

How did you get that lua console? I want to make some kind of bash script including notion commands to manage frames/workspaces, is that possible?

from notion.

Injecting lua code is already possible without my pimped-up notionflux, by using the plain old notionflux. If you want to script notion (edit: from bash), you can use notionflux (old or new) to inject commands. (Edit: but I'd suggest to use lua for scripting, maybe build a utility library and call into that from bash via notionflux.)

As for attaching workspaces this way, unfortunately it's broken. Using the method you described I've found myself with two WGroupWSes attached where only one should be (and them behaving in a weird way), and it also doesn't allow for easy-access keybindings to change the order of workspaces.

Experiments like the one I posted above are exactly the reason I extended notionflux the way I did, you're welcome to try, but the recent changes are mostly about interactive use, not use within scripts.
