Just hunting through there. Would you suggest that doF is the right function to use?

You probably want `doShift`. There are some decent examples here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Mana... Notably `className =? "foo" --> doShift "wherever"`.

When the machine boots I am going to start several of the same application. I want to ensure they each get their own workspace. That is, no two instances of this application will ever appear on the same workspace. This is why I think doF may be appropriate, but I am not completely sure and struggling to improve this confidence with the types. On 23/09/10 23:56, Brent Yorgey wrote:

Hello, I have 0 or more windows with a specific class name and I'd like to move each to its own workspace. Is this possible?

I'm not sure I fully understand what you want to do. Is this something you want to do immediately when each window is created? (In that case a ManageHook may be indeed what you want.) Or is this something you would want to do at some later time? Also, is there a 1-1 correspondence between class names and workspaces? Or did you mean that there are a bunch of windows with the SAME class name (say "foo") and you want to take all the windows with class name "foo" and move each to a separate workspace?

All of these are possible but the way to accomplish them depends on precisely what you're trying to do.
