feat: Add scratchpad workspace

[CRAG666]

I regularly use a scratchpad workspace in Hyperland to have music or applications there that I want to access quickly without using a normal workspace.

Thanks

i have not used that ever, can you give me some more details about is?

i had an idea of making like a per-output 'stash' so you could stash some toplevels there (basically minimize them) and then pop them if needed, tho i am wondering if they should pop back into the layout (or to its last position if they were floating) or if they should just pop into the middle of the screen as floating (getting the full keyboard and pointer grab). keybinds would be for stash_put and stash_pop where stash_pop would pop the next one (and hide the previous one if it was on the screen).

does that seem like a good idea, or do you (or anyone else) have any better ideas?

It sounds bit overkill... Most of us have 10 workspaces bound, right? You can just create bindings for more of them if needed, right? Just have some side workspace for spotify and other stuff, especially later if user creates in config rules to always spawn specific applications on $X workplace.

Idea of scratchpad or additional stash is... it doesn't seem very useful or predictable. What are you trying to solve here?

i3 introduced it eons ago and it seems most/all tilling managers follow that idea (for some reason) but I never seen anyone actually using them.

Edit: btw. Before anyone says they have too many keybinds already - if you somehow think 10 workplaces is not enough, you can create keybinds using 3 or even 4 buttons instead 2. Another tiny trick is making a bash script and linking it on Super + Scrollwheel for example, you can just scroll through any number of workplaces you want. Have script doing +1 or -1 depending on scrolling direction.

i agree with @amatsagu here, i dont really see myself using it, and it adds a lot of complexity to the codebase.
