Re: [xmonad] switching to the workspace where a window just went?

4 Jan 2012

      Adam, thank you so much for the detailed help. Following instructions I sorted everything out except for doTo.   Is there a way to achieve the same effect without doTo/installing the newer xmonad-contrib? I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and trying to force the install of a more recent xmonad is proving beyond my abilities (all sorts of impossible to meet dependencies pop up). bye! ~l

Hi Lara,

doTo is in XMonad.Actions.CycleWS in XMonadContrib 0.10 but not in 
XMonadContrib 0.9.*

getSortByIndex needs an

import XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare

and finally I suspect shift might be  XMonad.StackSet.shift, which with 
your imports can be referred to as  W.shift

Hope this helps.

Brandon, thank you so much for this. (It had landed in my spam folder so I only found it now.)
After adding that to my xmonad.hs I get these errors:
xmonad.hs:68:17: Not in scope: `doTo'
xmonad.hs:68:35: Not in scope: `getSortByIndex'
xmonad.hs:68:67: Not in scope: `shift'
Please check the file for errors.
I checked the header of xmonad.hs and I am importing the file you mentioned:
import Control.OldException
import Control.Monad
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS
import XMonad.Config.Gnome
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS
import XMonad.ManageHook
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers
import XMonad.Layout.ShowWName
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)
import System.IO
so I wonder why this is happening?
thank you for any help!

Looking at the source to cycleWS, looks like what you want is something like
...
,("C-<F1>", doTo Next EmptyWS getSortByIndex $ \ws -> windows (shift ws) >>
                                                      windows (greedyView ws))
