For cycling through workspaces (in my setup with Win-PgUp/PgDown, you can achieve what you want using moveTo Prev HiddenWS and moveTo Next HiddenWS (defined in X.A.CycleWS). For switching to workspaces, say 1..10, directly without messing with their assignment to monitors, XMonad has XMonad.StackSet.view. With the behaviour you describe, I suspect that your workspace switching keys are bound to XMonad.StackSet.greedyView. XMonad.StackSet.view simply focuses the requested workspace if it is already visible on some monitor and otherwise behaves the same as greedyView.

Hi,

I use xmonad with two monitors. I love that I can switch workspaces in each monitor independently. I don't believe any other WM supports this feature. However, if a workspace is visible on one monitor and I hit its number on another monitor, xmonad will swap the two workspaces.

For example:

*focus mon A B SW [1] [2]*

If I hit M-1, I get

*focus mon A B ws [2] [1]*

I was hoping that there's a way to change this behavior. I would like xmonad to either not do anything in this case or better yet, switch the focus on the other monitor without swapping workspaces.

Thank you,
