Keyboard shortcut to instantly isolate/open the currently selected tag as a Workspace

Bear feedback Feature Request
1

I’d like to propose adding a keyboard shortcut that allows instantly turning (or isolating) the currently selected nested tag into a dedicated Workspace.

How I envision it: We currently have a very convenient shortcut to exit a Workspace and go back to the general view (Cmd + Control + 0), which heavily supports a keyboard-driven workflow. However, I feel there’s a missing counterpart going the other way around.

When I’m navigating my tag structure (e.g., #fooz/projekty/xyz), it would be amazing to hit a single keyboard shortcut that immediately opens this tag as an isolated Workspace without having to reach for the mouse.

Having this symmetry (a shortcut to enter isolation / a shortcut to exit) would greatly speed up deep-dive project work.

What do you think?

Actually I am wondering that there is no hotkey for setting a tag as workspace

Yes. I’d also be happy with an x-callback-url I can invoke to set a tag as workspace

I came to suggest this exact feature. It would be great to have keyboard shortcuts for workspaces. The OP’s workflow sounds good to me!

We have a very concrete problem with keystrokes: We already have too many!
We struggle to find meaningful keystrokes that are not already taken by other Bears’ menus or system-wide functionalities.

We can consider adding a menu for entering a workspace with a tag selected, but I’d like to suggest a more keyboard-friendly method.
Using the quick open panel (CMD+O), hit # and search for the tag you want, then hit CMD+Enter.

Next Bear update will include 2 new x-callback-urls for settings and quitting workspaces, along with 2 new shortcut actions for the same purpose.

This seems better than a keyboard shortcut. Constraints yield good design. Thanks!
