This is what XMonad does by default - I hate it, but you apparently don't, so you could switch window managers to get this, if you wanted.

- gizmo686 10y agoWhat parent describes is what most (all?) tiling window managers do. However, XMonad's default is really weird. Instead of each desktop having their own set of workspaces, there is a single set of workspaces shared by all desktops. If you try to switch desktop A to the workspace currently shown by desktop B, then B will switch to the one currently shown by desktop A. There is a module to get the more 'normal' behaviour of each desktop having its own set of workspaces, but it can be a bit difficult to set up if you are not familar with Haskell.
- davidbanham 10y agoSee I think xmonad's behaviour makes intuitive sense and all the others are weird. If I want to see my Slack window on the monitor in front of my face I don't have to worry about remembering what monitor it was last on, I just call up workspace 3 and bam it's there.
