Hi Frank, Thanks for the patch. Your example can be written using XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers and the existing XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition: manageHook = composeOne [currentWs =? "5:www" -?> insertPosition Below Older return True -?> insertPosition Below Newer] <+> myManageHook Considering the above, I think you can implement insertPositionPerWorkspace without having to add to the already confusing functions in insertPosition: -- insertPositionPerWorkspace :: [(WorkspaceId, (Position, Focus))] -- -> Position -> Focus -> ManageHook insertPositionPerWorkspace wss p1 f1 = do ws <- currentWs uncurry insertPosition $ fromMaybe (p1,f1) (lookup ws wss) Let me know if this insertPositionPerWorkspace above can be added instead of your patch.

Hi,

a small patch that might be useful for others. It adds insertPositionPerWorkspace to XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition and allows to define insertPosition for a particular workspace.

Example: -- manageHook = insertPositionPerWorkspace [("5:www",(Below,Older))] Below Newer <+> myManageHook --

"5:www" is my tabbed workspace for uzbl-browser. A new window opens in "background" and the focus remains on the old window, whereas in every other workspace the new window is focused.

Kind regards,

Frank
