Any way to make a workspace 'sticky' in KWin like the way GNOME-Shell does it?

I'm a fan of the way GNOME-Shell handles workspace switching. Changing out stuff on the primary monitor only, while the secondary monitor keeps its windows. This is useful for things like keeping IRC and other communications open on one window while doing current tasks on the main screen.

Is there a way to do this in KDE/KWin?

Hello, can you please be a little more specific. Are you using multiple monitors? or do you mean workspaces where you've said monitors?

Yes, I am using 2 monitors. I would like the workspace switching to only happen on the primary monitor while the secondary monitor keeps the same workspace or windows that I put in it whenever the workspace on the primary monitor is changed.

Ok, well i don't have two monitors to test on, but i'd imagine that what you desire would be accomplished with kde's activities. Have you tried activities to see how that works?
