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.

I think the XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens module in -contrib does this.

It doesn't. With IndependentScreens, the screens are... well.... independent. Switching workspaces on one of the screens would not affect the other.

Oh, right. Well, the you need to set up your keybindings to do both switches at the same time; using IndependentScreens might make this a little easier to work on (going on my vague recollection from last time I looked at the module...). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
