Hi, you might want to have a look at: http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=432 it's a module for linking workspaces... for a more basic solution you might just rebind your mod+# stuff in a way that you just execute view 1 on screen 1 and view 2 on screen two using onScreen from independent screens.

Hi,
I am quite new to xmonad, but I find it quite useful :D (compared to my window-dragging coworkers, who don't see the sense :D)
The story is: I have a working dual-screen setup, where each screen is a workspace. This is probably the most default way to have it...
My problem is, that I mostly work with apps that produce a lot of windows. This is the first reason why I have dual-screen setup after all... So I arrange nicely all the windows on the two screens (say [1] and [2]), but I also work with multiple instances of the application. That means I have another application (with similarly-looking windows) on screens [2] and [3]. And another on [4][5]. And another.... Now here's the catch: When I want to switch to the other project (2,3) i need to change BOTH workspaces (say: mod-w,mod-3, mod-e,mod-4). Then to go back the procedure repeats.
This is annoying... It is even more annoying if I forget on which dual-workspaces my apps were, and I mess instance 1 with instance 2 (say have workspaces [1] and [4]). Then my app responds in silly way (of course) and I don't see why...
So the question is: Is it possible to have a setup with 'dual-screen,dual-sub-workspace' workspaces? So to have [1][2] merged in [super1] and [3][4] merged into [super2] ? So when I switch to [super1] i get [1][2], and so on...
It could be that [1][2] is merged into a big [1] (but preserving the mod-w,mod-e functionality!! That's a must!), so that (mod-shift-1) would move some other window to that workspace... I don't mind that it would end up in either say [1a] or [1b], that I can manage later ;)
Thanks and regards, Kuba
