moving windows with mouse and named workspaces
Dear All, I am new to Xmonad, coming to it from other tiling wm (wmii for the last year or so, ion before that). I am very much enjoying it (the feel, the intuitiveness, the great docs, the large number of extra available stuff, etc), but I have two questions: 1. Is it possible to move (and resize) windows with the mouse? This is immediate in wmii (and also doable in awesome). I have found some info in the mailing list, but I am not still fully clear about how to do it. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/4491/match=mouse+res... 2. A feature I miss a lot from wmii is the creation of workspaces "on the fly", with whatever name I care to use. Then, I can move to that workspace by name. When I am done there (i.e., it gets emptied) it disappears automagically. (To be more clear, this is an example of usage: say Mary comes for help on some analysis; I create a new workspace called "Mary", and there I fire up xterm, emacs, whatever. That remains open maybe for days, until done. In the meantime, Fred might come along with another different request; I creat a workspace for Fred. And, of course, I've kept open for the last months the workspace named "web", etc, etc. It is easer for me to move around by "name" than remembering where I left the emacs session with Mary's analysis). If searched and found a few hits, but again I do not see how to actually do it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/2727/match=name+work... http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/883/match=name+works... Thanks for such a nice piece of work.

The answer to the second issues was already in the docs in my machine:
XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces
does exactly what I was looking for. Apologies for asking before
searching enough.
Best,
R.

In the default configuration, mod+left mouse button moves windows, and mod+right mouse button resizes. -Brent
Yes, thanks. It was right there on the xmonad.hs file. I should have seen it.
Best,
R.
