That's next on my list (workspace renaming), but I really shouldn't get to it today, as I have some debugging of darcs that I need to do that probably will take all day.

Changes to DynamicWorkspaces.hs:

Thu Oct 18 17:56:04 EEST 2007 David Roundy * add function to rename workspaces.

I haven't found this patch in mailing list, anyway...

I didn't email it, because I was afraid of swamping the list. Would you (and others) prefer to get emails of patches that introduce new features?

It works, it's lovely! Very useful. :)

Indeed, it's a little shocking how often I've renamed my workspaces since writing this code. :) A (hopefully) useful feature is that if you rename a workspace to an existing workspace name, then the two workspaces get merged. I haven't tested this feature yet, so I haven't documented it, but it seems like it ought to have good uses, and will perhaps make removeWorkspace obsolete.

BTW, could someone tell me, why does , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_a), renameWorkspace defaultXPConfig) work and , ((modMask, xK_A), renameWorkspace defaultXPConfig) (no shift, the capital `A') does not?
