Gaps Specific to workspace

[wesbos]

I know we can have gaps specific to monitors and I know we can assign workspaces to monitors,

I'm looking for a increase the gaps on a single workspace only. The reason behind is is that I record my screen for videos but need to only record a sub-set of the screen. Having larger gaps on the outer will allow me to adjust them so the windows fit in the recording area.

I think I'd like to see this as well.

I have a 4k monitor and I like to have the browser and other windows in a central portion of the screen (which I achieve using gaps to get the right size and position); however, there are occasions where I'd like to have some windows side-by-side using all of the screen.

Currently, if I have the side-by-side windows as floating, when moving through the tree it keeps flip-flopping to the floating windows; I assume because of the overlap algorithm. I have therefore created a separate workspace to put the side-by-side windows which are floating so they ignore the monitor gaps setting but then navigation using focus doesn't work (maybe because there it no root container that "overlaps"?).

Maybe it's the flip-flopping between the floating and non-floating which is really my issue and maybe there is a better/different way to handle that?

It does also get complicated as I'm also on a laptop with an external screen. As such, when I unplug the external monitor I effectively want everything to be maximised on the laptop screen (no gaps). I have the "with" and "without" external monitor setups working right now.
