I just got that going, and after a bit of work on the key mappings it is doing workspaces per screen, thanks bunches for the help. Now (you just knew there was more, didn't you) I was wondering if anybody could help me get Actions.CycleWS to work with Layout.IndependentScreens? I'm sure there is some magic to this, but I don't have it yet. Here are my current keybindings: keyBindings spawn conf = let m = modMask conf in fromList $ [ ((m .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock"), ((m, xK_Right), nextWS), ((m, xK_Left), prevWS), ((m .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), shiftToNext), ((m .|. shiftMask, xK_Left), shiftToPrev), ((m .|. controlMask, xK_Right), nextScreen), ((m .|. controlMask, xK_Left), prevScreen), ((m .|. shiftMask, xK_Up), shiftNextScreen), ((m .|. shiftMask, xK_Down), shiftPrevScreen), ((m, xK_z), toggleWS) ] ++ [ ((m .|. e .|. i , key ), windows (onCurrentScreen f workspace)) | (key, workspace) <- zip [xK_1..xK_9] (workspaces' conf) , (e, f) <- [(0, view), (shiftMask, viewShift)] , i <- [0, controlMask, mod1Mask, controlMask .|. mod1Mask] ] And mod-1 switches workspaces on a physical screen, but mod-Right still re-shuffles the workspaces on different screens. Clearly I need to make those nextWS and prevWS lines look like the xK_1 lines, but I simply cribbed the last 6 lines of that function from somebody else's config.
