Your desktop layout for web development and or programming in general -


I have a MacBook laptop and 21 "monitors, the first and second to my left is in front of me in OS X Leopard I use Safari and IM, IRC etc. on the monitor in the laptop, by using two workspaces, which I constantly switch on (for regular navigation and communication apps like IRC, Adium, Twitter, Skype). Until the screen on the laptop is small and Ptop is located at my place, then I static application runs he does not require much of a difference because they are idle most of the time or show small updates (such as Twitter). Then on the other workspace I am running Firefox on my laptop screen and run some terminal and VIM sessions on the front monitor. I get development and coding on the main screen, so every time I want to see the applicable changes, I refresh by going to my left lamps.

I'm pretty happy with this setting, but I'm getting some drawbacks, eg when I want to use firebug in Firefox, I think I'm not comfortable feeling, because the screen My left too is showing the code.

That's why I am considering strong use of the workspaces and focusing on all the tasks. Leave the monitor apart from the rest, "Background" or "Static" window app on my laptop. Then, Firefox will be moved to the first workspace, the main monitor. Every time I want to see a change on this, I'll change the workspace and refresh, can it be too much switching?

So I'm telling you programming programming, hackers, and so much: any thoughts? Which is your preferred layout for daily work?

I use Ubuntu Linux with XMonad WM on a 15.6 inch laptop. XMonad is a tile vibe manager, which means that it automatically organizes the positions of windows and maximizes useful space. In the first workspace, I always have the browser full screen, the second one- GVIM full screen, then I have three terminals - SSH on a server, a working directory and everything else (for example, IPython). After that I need something else for IM, Wordsspace, Thirdbird and two Utility Workspaces.

This layout assures that everything is in close reach - I am usually on the other workspace with GVIM, but I can change a keystroke to test some of the humans or the terminal For browser to see through.


About switching too much - Switching to Meta (in my case the key to windows, I do not know that you have your friends; Macs;) and Muswell, this will make you switch fast Allows Also bind workspaces to switch to the meta number - this allows you to switch without using the mouse.
