Dear all,<br>
<br>
I never managed to have a way of knowing either<br>
<br>
1- on which workspace a particular program is open<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
2- which workspace is being displayed on each of my monitors (eg, "on this monitor you are looking at workspace 1")<br>
<br>
Is there a way to get either of these behaviors? Without this information, I do spend some serious time zapping across workspaces to find the window I need.<br>
<br>
I thought that an easy way to address (2) would be to use an OSD (like libnotify) to pop up a notification providing the workspace name/number when the user switches workspaces. Is there a "hook" in xmonad to which I could link a command "run notification saying this is workspace X"?<br>
<br>
Many thanks for any help<br>
