Wow, thanks for the comprehensive explanation! I actually figured it out
myself, but your config looks very interesting and I'll certainly see what
more I can learn from it.
Here's what I did:
1. Define two custom prompts:
myXPConfigSelect = defaultXPConfig
{ autoComplete = Just 0
, showCompletionOnTab = True
}
myXPConfigNew = defaultXPConfig
{ autoComplete = Nothing
, showCompletionOnTab = True
}
(I have some more settings but they aren't relevant here.)
2. Bind keys for switching and creating workspaces, in the latter case it
doesn't autocomplete:
-- Switch workspace
, ((modm , xK_h), selectWorkspace myXPConfigSelect)
-- Move window to workspace
, ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_h), withWorkspace myXPConfigSelect (windows .
W.shift))
-- Create new workspace
, ((modm , xK_n), selectWorkspace myXPConfigNew)
-- Move window to newly created workspace
, ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_n), withWorkspace myXPConfigNew (windows .
W.shift)
Works like a charm. I'm still experimenting with which keys to use, but
otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with this.

I was also annoyed by how newly created workspaces would mess up the order
with my configured ones. I found this patch that fixes it for me:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2012-July/012810.html
Ideally I would like to order all workspaces by when they were created.

And I would like Actions.CycleWS to ignore workspaces that are visible on
other screen (to avoid switching those workspaces). Now I'm going off
topic, but does anyone know if it's possible with the toggleOrDoSkip
function?
About the original question about prefixing workspace names with numbers,
I'm happy with the prompt + autocomplete, so I don't really need an answer
(unless it's easy to achieve).
Cheers,
Hans
