Multi-monitor handling like in Xmonad

Postby Virtual Shuric » 20.04.2012 08:00:36

Hello! Dexpot is really awesome piece of software. Thank you!

I'm glad to see, that multi-monitor support is being developed for 1.6 version. But, is it possible to implement desktop-switching behaviour similar to Xmonad on Linux? It's quite handy to my mind (may be the most handy of all window/desktop managers).

More detailed explanation:
1. In single-monitor mode I switch desktops with Alt+Num hotkey
2. I plug second display - WM sees that and enables more hotkeys:
a. Alt-Num still switches desktops on primary display
b. Alt-Num1-then-Num2 allows to set display number and then desktop number to show on that display.
c. Every desktop can be show only on one display (no cloning and so). And every display has assigned desktop. Assigning already show desktop to new display simply swaps them:
* Desk1 open at Disp1, Desk2 open at Disp2
* I assign Desk2 to Disp1
* Now Desk2 is open at Disp1 AND Desk1 is open at Disp2

So, I have common pool of desktops and windows on them for all connected displays. And then I simply assign what desktop to show on each display.

Such feature would make Dexpot simply perfect to me ;)
