I haven't had a chance to look over your use of NamedScratchpads
except to verify that you seem to have `namedScratchpadManageHook`
correct (although you seem to be setting it once and then overriding
it later, and the same with `layoutHook` and `startupHook`); with the
merger of dynamic scratchpads with normal scratchpads, everything
except activation is now done in the `manageHook`, so that should be
correct.
Old-style scratchpads are no longer supported and will be removed in
the next release. Use NamedScratchpads instead. There is currently a
broken attempt at backward compatibility currently, which may be
interfering with the normal NamedScratchpad.

I am on Arch Linux, so there's that. I had avoided upgrading for a couple of months. Until yesterday morning.
I'm on ghc 9.02 and xmonad 17.1.
I had to wade through numerous problems and errors, Arch as well as xmonad deprecations. Nothing to do with scratchpads.
I am passing my scratchpads to all scratchpad Actions, I have a scratchToggle function to do that, which according to the doc, should continue to work even with the breaking changes to namedScratchpads.
I do have multiple ways to invoke them. I have a submap keymap, grid select, and few direct keys in the main keymap. None of them work.
None of the named scratchpads work, nor does the old unnamed scratchpad terminal. I've ripped out my code and replaced it with the example with no success. I've tested examples with xterm, uxrvt and termite. I am now mostly back to my original scratchpad code. Which silently does nothing, Named or otherwise.
I must be missing something very simple.
Any clues would be appreciated, my haskell is a bit rusty but coming back a little at a time. Here's my relevant code chunks. Also available on my github. Itś a rather large config. https://github.com/EricGebhart/xmonad-setup/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
I suspect my manage hooks, but it just doesn´t make sense to me. Everything is a bit simpler with the new docks and ewmh stuff, I realize I could simplify it some more. But I hate to mess with it too much, when it all looks good and it's been this way for years now.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you, Eric
