Thanks for your recommendations. I was at first happy to try out a prepackaged solution in X.L.IndependentScreens however I found that it loses my windows when I switch between single screen mode and xinerama(laptop here, so that's multiple times a day). I guess I'll move on to your second suggestion.

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.
