Hi, I'm a new xmonad user, and despite knowing next to no Haskell, I've made xmonad work pretty much the way I want it. Fantastic! Now there's only one major thing I miss. Let's get to the point before boring you with rationales; I want DynamicLog to prefix my workspace names with a number, e.g. "web", "chat", "work" becomes "1:web", "2:chat", "3:work". I found a previous discussion[1] in the mailing list and a zsh script[2], but I would like to do it directly in xmonad.hs, presumable where I define my PP. (I use dzen2 to display the workspace names, if it makes any difference). My PP is pretty standard, you can find it here: http://paste.kde.org/564734/ So why do I want this? I use DynamicWorkspaces to create and delete workspaces on the fly, but still prefer to use Mod(+shift)+<number> to switch and move windows between workspaces. This is a bit hard, however, without a number next to the workspace name. I know that you can bind a key to selectWorkspace, but I find it faster to switch using the traditional method when you don't have many workspaces. I'm using xmonad 0.10 and xmonad-contrib 0.10, but I guess I wouldn't mind trying out darcs if it's needed. Help would be very much appreciated!
