I do understand what the OP wants. You press Alt-Tab (but don't release) - xmonad switches to another workspace you want just to take look, e.g. if gcc has finished compiling, then you release Alt-Tab and return to the original workspace.

That would save extra Alt-Tab press. Could be useful, I agree, but not sure how to implement it.
