If you have EwmhDesktops configured then you can use xdotool or wmctrl to
switch to the new NSP workspace. (Note that it won't exist until something
is moved there, unless you list it explicitly in your workspaces.)

As I said previously, you must modify the NamedScratchpad module in order
to use a different workspace name. It does not work by slots (like the
reloading of workspaces across mod-q does), it looks for NSP by name.
