First, I'd question myself why I would want to create workspaces on<br>
the fiy :P, and then "keep them" enough time to make your issue<br>
relevant. I always imagined dynamicworkspaces as a complement to<br>
create "short-lived" workspaces. Also, if you are creating the same<br>
(or similar) workspaces every time... maybe there isn't really a good<br>
reason to create them on the fly.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it the "standard way" first, but found that it didn't fit my workflow that well.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
In my case I keep 7 "fixed" WS:<br>
<br>
1:terms, 2:web, 3:coding, 4:files, 5:media, 6:various, 7:im.<br>
<br>
They are called that way, so it's easy to use the number to jump<br>
between them and then I create/rename/remove "dynamic" ones in case<br>
are needed.<br></blockquote><div><br>I had a similar setup, but with 10 workspaces with 3 "various" (unnamed) ones. But I found that most of the time I only used about half of the workspaces, since I use my computer for many different things. I still keep a set of default workspaces, but DynamicWorkspaces is really nice for creating space for the other tasks.<br>

Another module that helps (a lot) in jumping/moving between workspaces<br>
are X.A.CycleRecentWS and X.A.CycleWS, I think you should take a look<br>
:)</blockquote><div><br>I use CycleWS to cycle between screens - it's a bit annoying for workspaces since it may change the workspaces on the other screens. (If I cycle to a workspace that's already shown on a physical screen, it will be swapped with the current one.)<br>

+ Select workspace by name Automatically switches when unique starting<br>

two keystrokes. And I don't have to remember that, say, files is 4: I<br>
just have to remember that files starts with 'f' (or, in extremis, 'fi').<br></blockquote><div><br>Hm, maybe I should get used to that instead, it sounds really nice. Can you please tell me more about how you have configured it to switch automatically and/or post the relevant parts of your xmonad.hs? I use the default keybindings, so I have to hit tab and return after entering the substring in order to switch, which is a bit too slow for my liking.<br>
