How to rename workspaces on Ubuntu 20.04

I decided today to use workspaces on Ubuntu 20.04. I see that every workspace I create is named: Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc.

Is there a way to rename that to meaningful names such as Study, Video, etc.?

P.S: Searching on Google doesn't return any useful results.

Solution 1:

In a default Ubuntu installation, workspace names have little visibility, and there is no user exposed way to rename them. Still, they can be renamed using the gsettings command, e.g:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences workspace-names "['Browser', 'Terminal', 'Word', 'Games','Settings']"

or using dconf editor.

To reset to the default, issue the command:

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences workspace-names

Extensions may expose the setting. The official Gnome Shell extension Workspace Indicator by fmuellner (part of Classical Gnome) exposes an option to rename the workspaces.
