Hello and welcome,

don't be shy, this is a good question!
You want a pager, right? Maybe bbpager or fbpager can do what you like. Install both, then execute bbqpager or fbpager from inside a terminal. Report back what happens.

If it's only about showing which desktop you switched to, you can check if you have [+I] in spectrwm.conf's "bar_format"

I move this thread over to support :)
