DisplayMaid has apparently created a new workspace for every possible permutation of my display setup. This renders the utility almost completely useless to me (at least not without a great deal of tedious configuration to workaround the problem). Some possible ideas for addressing this problem and ones related to it:

1) wait some amount of time before automatically creating a new workspace to allow for plugging in and unplugging displays

2) provide an option to not automatically create new workspaces

3) permit workspaces to be deleted

4) allow for constraining workspaces to dimensions only rather than order (or better detect when the order is actually the same)

5) add a default workspace whose configuration is inherited by any newly created ones or provide some other kind of inheritance or copyability of an applications list

6) allow multiple applications to be selected added to the application list simultaneously (then I could keep a folder of aliases to apps I want under DisplayMaid control).

#pentadactyl, a short dramatization

Pentadactyl User 1: O wise and all-powerful John-Galt, I beseech you: this command I have been using is far too long and complicated for me. What shall I do?

John-Galt: Alas, there was a time when a single man alone could type as many commands as could ten men today, and with greater skill and accuracy. Men today are weak, clumsy, and indolent! But I am as forgiving as I am powerful; I shall implement forthwith a clever shortcut and bestow it upon you before rosy-fingered dawn next stretches her long, lithe limbs.

Pentadactyl User 2: O wise and all-powerful John-G...

John-Galt: Behold, Pentadactyl User 2! It is already done. I forsaw your need even as your lips first began to flap. My servant Eris-Prime, drinker of milk, shall tell you the story.

Pentadactyl User 3: This command is still too long for me. Why can't I just use 'jj' instead?

John-Galt: Foolish mortal! 'jj' is an abomination! Suffer hordes of locusts and a thousand plagues and speak of it no more! *crack* *kazaam*

I recently set up Synergy to put up a persistent sticky Growl notification when I switch to a client screen, then dismiss it when I switch back to the host. I set up the keybindings using the relatively obscure keystroke() synergy.conf feature and bound <D-C-h> to switch to "samsara.local" and <D-C-l> to switch back to "seth.local". (There are also QuickSilver triggers to also use these keystrokes to send the Growl notifcations.) I have to press them twice because of an apparent bug in synergy that eats the first locally directed keystroke() when you're on the remote host.

I'm using KeyCastr for displaying the keystrokes. The Growl theme is Skinotronic 1.0 with the Very Low priority (-2). The app icon is from Divvy. The vim colorscheme is a customization of kellys.vim. And yes, I've got the current vcs branch and number of dirty files right there in my bash prompt (works for git, svn, and hg).

It's all driven by a custom bash script that essentially just wraps osascript invocations targeting Growl. By using a AppleScript, I can use the same script for multiple purposes, give them all unique application names, and then customize which Growl theme is used for each notification.
