Hi,
I always found it irritating how xmonad behaves with more than one screen, especially how workspace switching on one screen is “non local”, i.e. affects other screens. to clarify with two screens:
A B [3][1] (focus on B) Press NextWorkspace [3][2] (focus on B) Press NextWorkspace [2][3] (focus on B)
Well, if you use greedyView for workspace switching, you'll instead be left with "[3][2] (focus on A)", if you prefer this kind of setup.
And it is not only about intuitiveness, but also very useful. When holding presentations, I tend to use a tool like pdf_presenter_console and therefore, my laptop screen (A) and the projector screen (B) display different workspaces. But when I then want to demonstrate something live, I’d like to have the same workspace on both.
I have never heard of pdf_presenter_console before; I take it this is it? http://westhoffswelt.de/projects/pdf_presenter_console.html ? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
