I don't know whether we want to change the default bindings here, but mod-Q I find highly annoying, in that it conflicts with one of my favorite emacs commands. It seems like Escape should work as well here.
I think we'll stick with mod-q for now. In general, it is very difficult to find key combinations that don't offend emacs users ;). Perhaps you want to use an alternate key for mod instead?
I could do that, but I imagine it's a bit of a pain, since I use different keyboards (on different computers) with the same xmonad. And it still doesn't really solve the problem, since I have alt keys located in different locations on different keyboards (I suppose I could remap that as well, but then I'd have to remember where it's been remapped). I think I'll just stick with moving this to Escape.
I'm sort of curious: why is it that we use the number keys rather than the Fn keys to go to workspaces? It seems like those F1-F12 keys are pretty under-used, and I personally use the number keys pretty often (yes, an emacs user...).
Is there a way to specify a prefix key instead of just a set of modifiers? This is how I can use emacs (alt-x etc.)/screen (ctrl-a)/ion3 (alt-k)/ratpoison in vncviewer (ctrl-t) all together in the same session...
Use the 'submap' contrib module. BTW, almost everyone here uses WindowsLogo for xmonad and Alt for Meta (in programs) - it's easy to get used to. Stefan
