Is there a way to group 2 (or more) windows of different apps together so that when you click on them, it opens as one?

Like, let's say I have a browser and a text editor open, with uh 2 windows on each (for simplicity) now, suppose I group one window of my browser with one of the windows of my text editor, what I want is when I open any of the grouped windows, both of them should open at once, if I click on a non-grouped window, only that window is opened (of course!)

This can be helpful when you have two windows opened side by side to multitask.

You are not the first one to ask this. The standard answer is "use workspaces", which will allow you to treat a workspace as a group of windows. But there are more answers here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/805515/how-can-i-group-windows-to-be-raised-as-one

Like mac OS?

#

Or you can use workspaces

#

Use "win + (Number keys)" to switch between multiple workspaces

I don't really use the workspace feature.. maybe I can do this.
