Ability to pin applications to the taskbar depending on which virtual desktop/workspace you are in. For example, I'd like a coding desktop that just has an ide, browser, and terminal.

Kde has Activities where you can group apps in a similar way.

That sounds amazing. Checking it out now!

It's not perfect though, but I kind of like it myself. It feels like it could be even better, and it's a start of a great idea, and just needs some more love. :)

Isnt that possible under Linux Mint, or am I wrong?

Not that I'm aware of. Cinnamon is based off of gnome which I believe lacks this functionality as well. happy to be corrected though

If you use gnome with dash to bar or something like that you can desite in the extetion. And if I remember correctly muffin support it as well

Sway allows you to assign apps to workspaces.

yeah any wm or de has or should have that capability. Windows and mac allow that as well. I'm talking about specifically which apps are pinned to your taskbar. which sway and most wms that I'm aware of don't have

Ah, sorry, now I get it! I didn't read properly. And using KDE Activities would be a bit to overkill perhaps.
