keyboardAct a d p (SpecialKey KeyLeft) Down shiftDown = do (x,y) <- get p p $= (x-0.1, y)
where,
shiftDown = Modifiers {shift=Down, ctrl=Up, alt=Up}
You can't use a definition like that directly in a pattern match; a name starting with lowercase is a new binding, not the value of some existing binding. You can instead use a guard or, sometimes, a pattern guard. That is, keyboardAct a d p (SpecialKey KeyLeft) Down shiftDown = is identical to keyboardAct a d p (SpecialKey KeyLeft) Down x = aside from the name of the new local binding it introduces. It does *not* use an existing binding for shiftDown or x, it always creates a new one. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
