I have two monitors, left and right, and workspaces 1-6.

I'd like to configure xmonad so that when I go to workspace 1, I see workspace 1 on the left, focused, and workspace 2 on the right.

When I go to workspace 2, I'd like to see workspace 1 on the left, and workspace 2 on the right, focused.

When I go to workspace 3, I'd like to see workspace 3 on the left, focused, and workspace 4 on the right. And so on.

How can I do it? Thank you.

I think the XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens module in -contrib does this.

It doesn't. With IndependentScreens, the screens are... well.... independent. Switching workspaces on one of the screens would not affect the other.

Oh, right. Well, the you need to set up your keybindings to do both switches at the same time; using IndependentScreens might make this a little easier to work on (going on my vague recollection from last time I looked at the module...). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

So basically three sets of paired workspaces. I'd look at the (pretty sure it's darcs only) Actions.OnScreen module.

Thanks, that's what I needed. What are people doing about toggleWS on multi-head? http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad-Actions-CycleWS.html... I made a variant of toggleWS that uses the OnScreen focusing stuff I wrote, but it doesn't work like I expected. I think it's because the head of the 'hiddens' list isn't necessarily the workspace that was focused previously.
