Now (in dual-head), when switching workspaces, only one monitor/screen switches. So it would be of help *all screens* switch, too, and hence the complete workspace's 'view port'. – IMO "import qualified Graphics.X11.Xinerama" should do this, and that module treats both monitors as one in combination. Importing a module in Haskell only makes names available; it does not and can not perform any actions. Additionally, that is a low level module which exposes the X11-layer multiscreen support, not xmonad's.

If you really want both screens to switch at the same time, you might be interested in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Action....

Thanks, will look into it! ^^

Done . . . Looks quite interesting; however Idk if this would solve my issue (or I don't get its purpose exactly). I don't intend to use complete "sets of workspaces" (like topics?), rather switching both screens at once when changing workspaces (to avoid client-screen swapping). Anyway, addRawWSGroup :: WSGroupId https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Action... -> [(ScreenId https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Config..., WorkspaceId https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Config...)] -> X https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Config... () has drawn my attention . . .

As mentioned earlier, it works in Trinity (a.k.a. TDE=KDE3.5), so am I missing something in KDE5? Are you talking about Trinity's window manager, or xmonad? xmonad (and dwm) divide workspaces up between monitors; most window managers treat a workspace as spanning all monitors.

Sorry – to be more precisely: Xmonad as the WM (replacing kwin_x11) in Trinity. And yes, since Plasma wanted to re-invent the virtual desktop, dual-head screens are now seen as two separate ones, which can be individually customized with different wallpapers and bling such as "Activities".
