[xmonad] switching to the workspace where a window just went?

[Lara Michaels]

Adam, thank you so much for the detailed help. Following instructions I sorted everything out except for doTo.   Is there a way to achieve the same effect without doTo/installing the newer xmonad-contrib? I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and trying to force the install of a more recent xmonad is proving beyond my abilities (all sorts of impossible to meet dependencies pop up). bye! ~l

Hi Lara,

doTo is in XMonad.Actions.CycleWS in XMonadContrib 0.10 but not in 
XMonadContrib 0.9.*

getSortByIndex needs an

import XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare

and finally I suspect shift might be  XMonad.StackSet.shift, which with 
your imports can be referred to as  W.shift

Hope this helps.
