Hi, I think the easiest way would be, to have a perl-script, that gets the currently active output over IPC and sends the command "workspace $1_{output}", when called with "scriptname n", then put into your config file something like this: bindsym 1 exec /path/to/scriptname 1 bindsym 2 exec /path/

2014-04-11 Thread Eric Roseman
In a multi monitor setup, is it possible to configure the workspaces to be dependent of the monitor? For instance, say there are two or three monitors, is it configurable to have ten workspaces per monitor such that movement between the monitors can be done with a $mod+left or right, and $mod+{0-9}
