</p><p>Actually, it sets the current directory in a layout, since there's no way I
know of to attach a behavior to a workspace. This means that any terminals
(or other programs) pulled up in that workspace (with that layout) will
execute in that working directory. Sort of handy, I think.
</p><p>Note this extension requires the <code>directory</code> package to be installed.

</h1><div class="doc"><p>You can use this module with the following in your <code>~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs</code>:
</p><pre> import XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir
</pre><p>Then edit your <code>layoutHook</code> by adding the Workspace layout modifier
to some layout:
</p><pre> myLayout = workspaceDir "~" (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc..
main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }
</pre><p>For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
</p><p><a href="XMonad-Doc-Extending.html#Editing_the_layout_hook">XMonad.Doc.Extending</a>
</p><p>WorkspaceDir provides also a prompt. To use it you need to import
<a href="XMonad-Prompt.html">XMonad.Prompt</a> and add something like this to your key bindings:
</p><pre> , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_x ), changeDir defaultXPConfig)
