Excerpts from Brian Lewis's message of Fri Aug 13 14:28:12 -0600 2010:
I have two monitors, left and right, and workspaces 1-6.
I'd like to configure xmonad so that when I go to workspace 1, I see workspace 1 on the left, focused, and workspace 2 on the right.
When I go to workspace 2, I'd like to see workspace 1 on the left, and workspace 2 on the right, focused.
When I go to workspace 3, I'd like to see workspace 3 on the left, focused, and workspace 4 on the right. And so on.
How can I do it? Thank you.
So basically three sets of paired workspaces. I'd look at the (pretty sure it's darcs only) Actions.OnScreen module. You'd more or less bind keys to exactly what you just described in English. Something like (sorry haven't looked at the module docs in ages so this is pseudocode/innacurate; there are probably helper functions that make this shorter to write like viewOnScreen or sth like that) ... ("M-1", onScreen 1 view "2" >> onScreen 0 view "1") ("M-2", onScreen 0 view "1" >> onScreen 1 view "2") ("M-3", onScreen 1 view "4" >> onScreen 0 view "3") .... Someone on #xmonad could probably help turn that into a list comprehension if you want to get fancy and compress it into fewer lines. good luck! -- wmw
