Re: [xmonad] list of visible workspaces

Thanks a lot Brandon, that worked! Mostly based on what you wrote, I wrote another mapping that allows me to swap the left and right screens when I want to (it turns out that with my settings as I've described them to you, it takes a few keystrokes to switch the left and right screens, so I wanted to be able to do it with one keystroke, mod-w). I'm posting that here, in case anyone might ever try the same thing and won't know how to do it: swapView :: X () swapView = do ws <- gets windowset windows $ W.greedyView $ W.tag . W.workspace $ W.visible ws !! 0 And then my keybinding is: ((modm , xK_w), swapView) Probabl On 08/02/2012 12:23 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

I see. That solved that problem, but now I get an error saying:

*sigh* I tripped over the same problem I was trying to avoid in a different form... this will be harder to do than I'd hoped. (Forgot that it's already in a pure context; have to rearrange the whole thing to compensate)

The viewHidden function now looks like

viewHidden :: WorkspaceId -> X () viewHidden w = do ws <- gets windowset when (w `notElem` (map (W.tag . W.workspace) $ W.current ws : W.visible ws)) (windows $ W.view w)

and the list comprehension defining the workspace switching keys has now been refactored into:

[((m .|. modm,k),f i) | (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9] , (f, m) <- [(viewHidden,0), (windows . W.shift,shiftMask)] ]
