Quoting Toby Cubitt :

I have keybindings along the lines of

[ ((modMask .|. mod1Mask, k), windows (W.shift i)) | (i, k) <- zip myWorkspaces [xK_F1 .. xK_F12] ]

for calling "windows (W.shift i)" to move the current window to a given workspace using Mod+Fn.

The problem is, this usually moves the window to the master slot on the target workspace. Whereas I almost invariably want it moved to a slave slot.

Try this:

[ ((modMask .|. mod1Mask, k), windows (onWorkspace i swapDown . W.shift i)) | (i, k) <- zip myWorkspaces [xK_F1 .. xK_F12] ]

Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. First problem is that onWorkspace doesn't seem to be exported by StackSet. (I'm assuming it's that one you want to use, and not the onWorkspace from the PerWorkspace contrib module.) For testing purposes, I copied the onWorkspace definition into my .xmonad (and changed swapDown to W.swapDown, since I'm importing StackSet qualified). With these modifications, it compiles without error. But the behaviour is unchanged. The window is shifted to the master pain of the target workspace if the focused window on that workspace was the master, or inserted immediately above the focused window if it's not. In particular, if there's only a single window currently on the target workspace, the shifted window still ends up as the new master. Toby -- Dr T. S.
