Excerpts from Mike Sampson's message of Sun Apr 11 01:06:00 -0600 2010:
since I have been using XMonad I have been using a manage hook to send epdfviewer (my pdf reader of choice) to a workspace "3:doc" using the usual:
[ className =? "Epdfview" --> doShift "3:doc"]
I would also like this workspace to be moved onto the second screen of my two screen xinerama setup. After looking through the config archive the closest I can find to this is:
doShiftAndGo = doF . liftM2 (.) W.greedyView W.shift
which brings the workspace the application is moved to, to the current screen. Is there a way to always bring the workspace to screen 2?
I think what you're wanting is Actions.OnScreen rather than CycleWS. -- import OnScreen module -- screens are zero indexed so 1 is second one: doIt = doF . liftM2 (.) (viewOnScreen 1) W.shift This module has changed a few times and (I think) is only in darcs xmonad-contrib. I believe the ff. documentation is up to date: http://n-sch.de/hdocs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Actions-OnScreen.html -- wmw
