But reading your comment made realize something, (note: my haskelling is close to zero)
1. NSP still exist. how do i know? i have several scratchpads and when i hide them they actually go to the ws NSP but I myself cannot go to that workspace. (mod-0) but this is probably a separate/related issue.
2. ws 0 (mod-0) is not the same as NSP, but that is what i want WS 0 to be used for

If you have EwmhDesktops configured then you can use xdotool or wmctrl to switch to the new NSP workspace. (Note that it won't exist until something is moved there, unless you list it explicitly in your workspaces.)

As I said previously, you must modify the NamedScratchpad module in order to use a different workspace name. It does not work by slots (like the reloading of workspaces across mod-q does), it looks for NSP by name.
