Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 439 by linusar...@gmail.com: suggestion: CycleWS should export the screenBy function http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=439 Reference: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2011-January/011029.html From a Haskell perspective, if CycleWS exports the screenBy function, then a user can go from (the default): -- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3 -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3 -- [((m .|. modm, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows . f)) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..] , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] to the more flexible -- mod-{w,e}, Switch to previous/next Xinerama screen -- mod-shift-{w,e}, Move client to previous/next Xinerama screen -- [((m .|. modm, key), (screenWorkspace =<< sc) >>= flip whenJust (windows . f)) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e] [(screenBy (-1)),(screenBy 1)] , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] It surprises me that such a useful little function is not exported already. So, the patch is a one-liner change: --- CycleWS.hs 2011-02-21 20:48:25.000000000 -0800 +++ CycleWS-new.hs 2011-03-06 13:53:10.000000000 -0800 @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ , shiftPrevScreen , swapNextScreen , swapPrevScreen + , screenBy -- * Moving between workspaces, take two! -- $taketwo
