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. Ralph

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.

After playing around a little bit more: It has nothing to do with virtualbox. I have started a new session after a reboot. I started with four workspaces 1-4. Before doing anything else, I added a new workspace 5. This workspace can't be accessed with mod+5. However if I remove one of the four workspaces and recreate it, mod+number works correctly. "mod+number" seems to be limited by the number of workspaces, with is set as default in xmonad.hs. I don't think, this is on purpose.

Have you switched your mod+1 - mod+9 keys to use "withNthWorkspace" as in the documentation? http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Actions-DynamicWorkspace... ~d Quoting Ralph Hofmann :

No, I haven't. Because I didn't understand the code;-). Okay, but how to enter it into xmonad.hs? Because in order to modify my keys I use additionalKeysP from XMonad.Util.EZConfig, which uses strings instead of a pairs as representation for key combinations. So the line from the documentation needs to be modified: zip (zip (repeat (modm)) [xK_1..xK_9]) (map (withNthWorkspace W.greedyView) [0..]) I came to something like: zip (??? (repeat ("M-")) ["1".."9"]) (map (withNthWorkspace W.greedyView) [0..]) If ??? takes two lists of strings an returns a list of pairwise concatenated strings,it should work. At least I hope so. How to do that? Obviously a no brainer for a haskell programmer, which is, what I am not. Ralph Am Freitag, den 15.01.2010, 10:03 -0500 schrieb wagnerdm@seas.upenn.edu:

Try something like map (\n -> ("M-" ++ show (n+1), withNthWorkspace W.greedyView n)) [0..8] ~d Quoting Ralph Hofmann :
