Description

@cedrak

From my, new user's perspective whis how to is more of an example of a magic setup to put something to specific screen.

Questions that pops to mind when reading this how to:

  1. Why xrandr monitor's name (eDP-1) needs to be change in the config to DP1 and what naming change would be required for different names (e.g. DisplayPort-3, HDMI-A-0, eDP)\
  2. In the example config line some variable is used ("$ws1") what is it and why?

As a new user I would like to have more detailed description of config directive especially explanation on monitor's naming and short elaboration on the workspace variable.

Reference from upstream documentation: https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#workspace_screen

Edit: I've edited second point above after actually looking into regolith's i3 config and finding out that $ws1 variable is in fact declared. I also added user story.
