Re: [xmonad] Re: knowing what is on each workspace and/or knowing which workspace I am looking at

20 Jul 2010

      In case others (now or in the future) are interested in getting this working, I just want to note that unfortunately this very cool switcher that Justin pointed out is not usable with multiple monitors. All the apps currently visible (on both workspaces) get grouped together as being in either workspace A or B, depending on which currently has focus.

Until now the best option for use with multiple monitors seems  to be Gnome's Window Selector; in spite of the small shortcomings mentioned earlier it is very useful and seems to work reliably.

Hi Justin,
Many thanks, this is awesome! Just like what I had in mind.
: ) Currently it doesn't play well with a vertical panel,
but I am sure that is just a small tweak.
again many thanks, this was super-helpful : )

for my purposes. I will try to use xdotool to
avoid
having to click on
the panel to show/hide the list.
I ran into this "switcher applet" yesterday. It lacks
polish but it's an
interesting idea. There's a screenshot at [1] and a
"version 0.2" at
[2].
