Hello, I have tried both greedy and non greedy workspace switching. Neither is to my taste. Has anyone found a way to bind workspaces to monitors? I would like to have workspaces 1-4 on monitor 1 and 5-8 on monitor 2. So that if I press mod-1 I would switch focus to monitor 1 and monitor 1 would switch to workspace 1. And then if I pressed mod-6 focus would switch to monitor 2 (leaving monitor 1 at workspace 1) and then monitor 2 would switch to workspace 6.
Seems like this shouldn't be too hard. Change your mod-{1,2,3,4} keybinding to view the workspace that's currently visible on the left monitor, then shift to workspace {1,2,3,4}; change your mod-{5,6,7,8} keybinding to view the workspace that's currently on the right monitor, then shift to workspace {5,6,7,8}. This is a slight modification of the idea behind X.L.IndependentScreens, which you may also like. ~d
