I forgot to mention, in my example, that I am not on the virtualbox workspace 4, when I press mod+5, but on one of the workspaces 1 - 3. So virtualbox is not on the screen and doesn't catch the keys. Ralph Am Donnerstag, den 14.01.2010, 15:20 -0500 schrieb wagnerdm@seas.upenn.edu:

Have you tried pressing the "return to host" key first? By default, I think this is right control. ~d

Quoting Ralph Hofmann :

I just found out, that this behaviour only occurs with a running virtualbox machine. If virtualbox is, let's say, running on workspace 4 and I create a new workspace 5, it can't be accessed with mod+5.

Without virtualbox, everything works fine. So no big issue.

I prefer using only few workspaces by default and adding one if needed, whether by adding a workspace with addWorkspace and rename it or, more easily, by using selectWorkspace and entering a number that doesn't exist. In both cases, i can't access the new workspace by "mod + number of workspace".

Is there a workaround?

My xmonad has version 0.9-1.
