[snip] is not entirely satisfying: I don't know how to apply smartBorders and I'd like the NextLayout message to continue to work : so I guess it would be better to jump to an element of the layout list... ?

Try the JumpToLayout message: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-LayoutCombinators...

How can I get the 'description string' of the 'Full' layout?

Hi, You could specify the description string in your configuration by using, for example (named "a" Full), then use the string "a". http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-Named.html Or, if you define your layouts separately like: layout1 = Full layout2 = ... main = xmonad defaultConfig{layoutHook = layout1 ||| layout2 ||| layout3} then you can use (description layout1) as the description string. Depending on what's defined in layout1 you may get an "ambiguous type variable". Using the following function to jump to a layout j2l layout = sendMessage $ JumpToLayout $ description (Layout layout :: Layout Window) then add key bindings to (j2l layout1) (j2l layout2) and so on. -- Adam
