I'm working in one workspace. I switch to a different workspace and launch Firefox (by clicking its button in the sidebar). I switch back to the original workspace while Firefox is launching.

I wanted Firefox to run in the alternate workspace. But it opens its window in the original one.

Seems like there should be a way for apps to notice which workspace they're being launched into, and honor that choice.

Actually, no. I don't want to hard-code the workspace for each application. I'd like to do it in an ad hoc fashion: Switch workspace. Launch an app. Go back to what I was doing while the app launches in the other workspace. – user3238181 Jun 23 '14 at 18:06
Perhaps this helps how to shift applications from workspace 1 to 2 using command – TuKsn Jun 23 '14 at 19:12
@EliahKagan I am curious why you think this is a duplicate (I saw you voted to close in review). It doesn't look like one to me, and OP doesn't think so either. – Seth Jun 25 '14 at 03:53
