A complete (untested) hack: ,---- | import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS | | doShiftAndGoOther w = do nextScreen | doShiftAndGo w | prevScreen `---- It might be possible to do this without CycleWS, but I'm not sure how (without looking at CycleWS's code). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Excerpts from Mike Sampson's message of Sun Apr 11 01:06:00 -0600 2010:

since I have been using XMonad I have been using a manage hook to send epdfviewer (my pdf reader of choice) to a workspace "3:doc" using the usual:

[ className =? "Epdfview" --> doShift "3:doc"]

I would also like this workspace to be moved onto the second screen of my two screen xinerama setup. After looking through the config archive the closest I can find to this is:

doShiftAndGo = doF . liftM2 (.) W.greedyView W.shift

which brings the workspace the application is moved to, to the current screen. Is there a way to always bring the workspace to screen 2?

I think what you're wanting is Actions.OnScreen rather than CycleWS. -- import OnScreen module -- screens are zero indexed so 1 is second one: doIt = doF . liftM2 (.) (viewOnScreen 1) W.shift This module has changed a few times and (I think) is only in darcs xmonad-contrib. I believe the ff. documentation is up to date: http://n-sch.de/hdocs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Actions-OnScreen.html -- wmw
