| 2025-01-01 00:30:30 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> Hi, is there a trick to have a secondary monitor always stick to a dedicated workspace? |
| 2025-01-01 00:31:42 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> or at least some config code executed at startup to move to workspace X for that specific monitor? |

| 2025-01-01 16:58:08 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> This is my workspaces keybind (EZConfig) |

| 2025-01-01 16:59:48 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> The purpose is I only want this keybinding to be effective on the main screen so screen "0" |
| 2025-01-01 16:59:48 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | On the secondary screen, I don't want to be able to switch to another workspace, I want it to be stick to a specific ws |
| 2025-01-01 17:01:04 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> Reading https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/XMonad-Actions-OnScreen.html#g:1 I need to use "viewOnScreen 0" |
| 2025-01-01 17:01:05 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | But because I dont understnad Askell IU can't figure out how to apply it to my binding function above |
| 2025-01-01 17:01:22 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> * understand |

| 2025-01-01 17:10:37 +0100 | <geekosaur> | first off, you have to use W.view instead of W.greedyView or switching to the workspace on the other screen will move it to where you are (there's no ready way to tell which screen/workspace is focused if it's empty, so the default keeps screen focus on the primary monitor) |
| 2025-01-01 17:11:03 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> So Im trying to use the "Actions-OnScreen" but I fail to adapt the provided example from the doc to my config |
| 2025-01-01 17:12:10 +0100 | <geekosaur> | `viewOnScreen 0` would go in place of `W.view` or `W.greedyView`, but I think you don't actually want that in your keybinds as I understand it: you want to do `windows (viewOnScreen whatever "wsName")` in your startupHook |
| 2025-01-01 17:12:55 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and use the standard keybinds except using W.view instead of W.greedyView so xmonad doesn't swap workspaces when you select the "pasted" one |
| 2025-01-01 17:13:46 +0100 | <geekosaur> | the keybinds in OnScreen are an example of having a set of keybinds for changing the workspace on a different monitor, which I think you don't want because you said you wanted a specific workspace to stay on that monitor |
| 2025-01-01 17:21:11 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> yes I confirm |

| 2025-01-01 17:26:02 +0100 | <geekosaur> | if the target workspace is visible on another screen, W.view switches to the screen in question, W.greedyView swaps the workspace on the focused screen with the one on the other screen so screen focus remains in the same place |
| 2025-01-01 17:27:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there is no way to prevent workspace switching once you've focused the other workspace; xmonad's workspace/screen model doesn't actually permit the kind of "pinning" you want |
| 2025-01-01 17:27:35 +0100 | <geekosaur> | which is why I told you initially you can't _really_ do what you want |
| 2025-01-01 17:28:54 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there might be a way to conditionalize the keybinds to force you onto the other screen before a workspace switch (in fact I'm pretty sure it can be done) but it'd be very complex and not beginner level at all |
| 2025-01-01 17:29:13 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and it would take me a while to work out how to do it inside a keybind |
| 2025-01-01 17:30:16 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (and, uh, I was goimng to do an upgrade on my laptop today because I thought everyone else would be senisbl;e and take new years off, apparently I was wrong) |
| 2025-01-01 17:35:32 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (uh, to be clear, that's not aimed specifically at you, I woke up to find lots of chatter on the bridge bot and at least one person doing things involving the cabal github bot, both of which run on my laptop, so now I have no idea when I can take it down to upgrade it…) |
| 2025-01-01 17:35:35 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <rascasse> arf it's kinda a shame such a simple behavior (user facing at least) is not doable in XMonad :/ |

| 2025-01-01 17:36:52 +0100 | <geekosaur> | every window manager has its own model, some tnhings just don't fit those models. this particular behavior doesn't fit the dwm/xmonad model very well |
