* Currently, Mod-1 and friends may switch screens if that workspace is already visible on another screen.
I would like to make them beep instead, and not change workspaces.
I've thought about this, and perhaps another useful idea is for a workspace to have a "preferred" screen. For example, for me workspace 1 contains the web browser and OpenOffice, and I would like these programs to display on the laptop's internal display. So hitting Mod-1 should first go to the laptop screen, then display workspace 1 there. Of course, there should be a way to override this, so that any workspace can be displayed on any screen! Perhaps a "move this workspace to the next screen" command, or "display workspace N on the current screen". Then comes the question how to specify which screen is the preferred one for any given workspace. Perhaps the preferred screen could be the screen that last displayed the workspace. I realize that this sounds complex. I'm not sure how it would pan out in actual use. I imagine, though, that it would match my working habits quite nicely. Does it match your working habits, too? In other words, do you have workspaces that sometimes display on one screen, sometimes on another, or do you tend to display the same workspace always on the same screen? Kai
