I guess that that may not work because f.occupy is async, it just pops
up the occupation window. f.vanish will run immediately, and do nothing
if the window is present in just one workspace.

I tried

function "occutest1" { f.toggleoccupation "One"  f.vanish }
function "occutest5" { f.toggleoccupation "Five" f.vanish }

combined with calling these from some existing window menu:

menu "windowmenu" {
...
    "Occupy test 1"	f.function "occutest1"
    "Occupy test 5"	f.function "occutest5"
...
}

and that seemed to work.

I don't think so, and I have wished for something like that as well.
