xmonad dual head
In xmonad dual head setup, xmonad just shows two tag, one for each monitor, how can I switch between tag 1-9 of a perticular sreen. One more thing, my laptop screen looks hazy compared to the other monitor.

Re: xmonad dual head
In xmonad you switch tag with mod + tagNumber. The modkey is alt by default I think.

Re: xmonad dual head
IIRC Xmonad should switch whichever screen has the focus, so if a window on the left screen is selected, pressing alt+2 which switch that screen to workspace 2, if you then move focus to the right screen, pressing alt+3 will switch that screen to workspace 3, and pressing alt+2 should swap the right screen and the left screen.
It seems confusing at first but once you figure out how it works you should have no trouble navigating it.

In xmonad, even if you have 2 monitors, there are only 9 workspaces in total. There is no workspace 1-9 for monitor A and a separate workspace 1-9 for monitor B. By default, when you load up xmonad one monitor will be showing workspace 1, and the second monitor will show workspace 2.
