Hello yourself,

XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation doesn't work across screens.
XMonad.Actions.WindowNavigation is supposed to do this however.

Or you might want to run the stackset manipulation on all workspaces as follows:

>    in ws{ W.current = c', W.visible = vs' }

...

Or, perhaps what you want can be found in this module:
