Using 2 monitors

When I'm on screen 1, if I hit Mod+2, instead of getting the second ws of screen 1, the screens just swap.

It would be nice if I we can have an option to get static workspaces, as most WM do.

This is the only reason I'm not using spectrwm right now.

If each region has its own set of workspaces, how do you envision transferring windows between workspaces on different regions?

pablokbs commented 10 years ago

I'm using awesome WM now, and I can move the windows between monitors without any restriction, I can do it with the mouse or with the keyboard.

LordReg commented 10 years ago

What about sending the focused window to a hidden workspace on the other monitor?

pablokbs commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure that's possible, I don't think so, but to change to another monitor, and then to another desktop is really fast, so I don't need I would use that feature. But it would be nice to have it.

I get the need and will accept a well written PR for this.
