I can't quite promise yet that we will do this, but let's say there have been two recent developments that increase the probability by quite a lot:

- X11 is nearing EOL, and once we drop support for it this will get a lot less painful to do.

- If we want to switch to a virtual desktop / paging protocol that supports this we need to switch away from the current one, and it just so happens that in late 2024 a new protocol called ext-workspace made it into Wayland that is flexible enough to work for this purpose.

I'd say at this point the biggest problem is designing a UX for it that makes sense and doesn't confuse the hell out of people. If you want to contribute to e.g. that design discussion in our VDG working group that could be a good place to start.

> could I do some crowdfunding to hire a dev to do this feature and if so who?
