 The simplest way to enable this is to use 'useDefaultPrefixArgument'

 The default prefix argument is C-u.  If you want to customize the
 prefix argument, use the following:
 
->    xmonad $ usePrefixArgument prefixKey $ defaultConfig { .. }

 where 'prefixKey' is a function which takes 'XConfig' as an argument
 in case you wish to extract the 'modMask'.  An example
