Just out of curiosity, could you try if this would work?

    -- mod-[1..9] @@ Switch to workspace N
    -- mod-shift-[1..9] @@ Move client to workspace N
    [((m .|. modMask, k), f i)
        | (i, k) <- zip workspaces [xK_F1 ..]
        , (f, m) <- [(view, 0), (shift, shiftMask)]]

This is my personal setting, because I get annoyed with the overlap with
emacs' key bindings (and my laptop has no other mod key I could redefine
modMask as).  If it also turns out to be more robust with regard to
international keyboards, it might not be a bad default.
