A tiling window manager like dwm, XMonad or i3 could be configured to do what you want. For example in XMonad if you set the title of your terminal windows to a project name you can sort the windows by project workspaces using ManageHook. myManageHook = composeAll [ className =? "URxvt" <&&> title =? "<project-name>" --> doShift "<project-workspace>" ... https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#ManageHook_examples https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tip... http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-ManageHook.html http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-ManageHook.html You can check windows with xprop, and filter by strings as well.
