darcs patch: Config File adjustments for Hooks system
by mail＠joachim-breitner.de 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Thu Oct 18 17:33:58 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * Config File adjustments for Hooks system These are the configuration file adjustments for the Hook sytem. It also shows how to use some of the extension, including the WinNameMatcher, which provides the same functionality as before. If Hooks would go to the core, the logHook and manageHook definitions would go away, of course, in Config.hs as well as in Config.hs-boot.

Commets on my Hooks proof-of-concept
by Joachim Breitner 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi, As you can see, I partially implemented the proposed hook system. Here an overview: XMonadContrib/Hook.hs This quite small file contains all the magic of the Hook system. It is intended to go to xmonad/ directly some day. XMonadContrib/HooksProxy.hs This shows how the hooks should be called from the core one day, and is meant to be called from Config.hs for now. XMonadContrib/WinNameManage.hs (sorry for the bad name) An example of how to implement the name matching functionality currently provided in the core as an extension, using the hook system. I have adjusted two more extensions to the new hooks system. Note that I have not yet added the MessageHook to the HooksProxy, as I haven’t worked with LayoutModifiers yet. I think it should be clear where this is heading, but this should, after due discussion, either be thrown away or moved to the core. In contrast to matching window names, a hook infrastructure should not be in a contrib module, and there should be only one of these around. I hope this will make the discussion a bit more productive and get more people involved. Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner e-Mail: mail(a)joachim-breitner.de Homepage: http://www.joachim-breitner.de ICQ#: 74513189

darcs patch: Hooks module (and 4 more)
by mail＠joachim-breitner.de 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Thu Oct 18 17:24:47 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * Hooks module This is the basic hooks module with all the magic, and should be put directly in xmonad/ if this proposal is ever agreed on. Thu Oct 18 17:25:47 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * HookProxy module This is only need while the Hooks system is not in the core. The names of the functions match those in the Config.hs that they shoud replace. Eventually, the core (i.e. Operations.hs) should call > runSomeHook (mconcat Config.xmonadExtensions) in the right spot itself. This is all required modification to the core! Thu Oct 18 17:27:27 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * Extensions to match windows on the name To not lose the functionality of the current manageHook, this extensions provides this. This also means that the lines that extract the window names etc. would not have to be in the core anymore. Thu Oct 18 17:28:49 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * ManageDocks migrated to Hook system Not much to do to migrate an existing module to the new hook system. Note that extendind the fields of an XMonadExtensions does not break this! Thu Oct 18 17:31:58 CEST 2007 mail(a)joachim-breitner.de * Adjust EwmhDesktops to use the Hooks system

Debian packages for xmonad 0.4
by Joachim Breitner 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi, I have upgraded the debian packages to version 0.4, and uploaded them to the debian archive. As they are NEW[1], it might take some days until they are actually apt-get’able. Until then, you can find them on http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/ They do not yet include XMonadContrib (I’m not sure what’s the best way to include it) and they lack the haddock documentation of xmonad, as it does not build with haddock 0.8. I hope this will be fixed by a later version of haddock or xmonad. Comments welcome, Joachim [1] http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html -- Joachim Breitner e-Mail: mail(a)joachim-breitner.de Homepage: http://www.joachim-breitner.de ICQ#: 74513189

Issue 63: Control+a is lost when using controlMask for workspace switching. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=63 New issue report by andrei.gudiu: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. use controlMask instead of modMask in Config.hs work workspace switching. 2. build,install, run xmonad 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The Control+a key is lost, dead. I can't "Select All", I can't control my "screen" in an xterm, I can't pop up the Accounts window in pidgin. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad 0.4 on OpenBSD -curent. xmonad 0.3 worked just fine. Please provide any additional information below. Attached, my Config.hs If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.

darcs patch: brand new UrgencyHook contrib, depends o... (and 8 more)
by Devin Mullins 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Okay, lots of patches below, all in the same chain -- UrgencyHook. I'd like feedback -- I don't like making the user modify Config.hs-boot, but I don't see an alternative. Outside of the one bug noted in dzenUrgencyHook, though, it seems to work. Been using it for about a week. Thu Oct 11 01:16:41 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * brand new UrgencyHook contrib, depends on X11-extras WMHints binding It's a LayoutModifier which lets you define an urgencyHook function -- the action gets performed wheneveran X client sends an XUrgencyHint message (i.e. tries to "flash" the "taskbar"). This statically points to Config.urgencyHook, which requires that the user add a line to Config.hs-boot, in addition to defining the urgencyHook. Documentation forthcoming. Thu Oct 11 23:25:58 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * d'oh, minor UrgencyHook cleanup Thu Oct 11 23:45:06 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * documentation for UrgencyHook Fri Oct 12 00:45:55 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * add import to comments, for clarity Tue Oct 16 01:18:19 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * rename LayoutSelect & defaultLayout in comments Wed Oct 17 19:20:43 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * add UrgencyHook to MetaModule Wed Oct 17 21:29:10 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * fixed Dzen and gave it a configurable timeout Wed Oct 17 22:17:42 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * add dzenUrgencyHook as example (and the one I use) Wed Oct 17 22:20:26 EDT 2007 Devin Mullins <me(a)twifkak.com> * change example to dzenUrgencyHook

Issue 62 in xmonad: "Save Page As" in Firefox brings up float window in adjacent window in fullscreen mode
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 18 Oct '07

Issue 62: "Save Page As" in Firefox brings up float window in adjacent window in fullscreen mode http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=62 New issue report by mvanier42: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Run xmonad in full-screen mode with or without the tabbed extension 2. Start firefox and go to any page 3. Make sure there is another window (e.g. an xterm) in the workspace 4. Select "Save Page As" from the File menu What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The pop-up window will come up as expected, but the current window will shift to an adjacent window in the workspace (the one to the right). What I expected to see is that the pop-up window would come up without shifting the current window. That only happens if there is no other window in the workspace. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Most recent xmonad darcs version (roughly 0.4) on Debian Linux unstable, all compiled from source. Please provide any additional information below. I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I have this in my Config.hs file to make new windows come up to the right of the current window. manageHook _ _ _ _ = return W.swapDown Also, this bug seems to have only surfaced in the last few revisions (sometime between 0.3 and 0.4). If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. I used the Tabbed extension, but it's not due to it.

Is it possible to use it in a Gnome environment (for > instance, my Ubuntu desktop)? Initial support for all the gnome stuff is appearing, (and I think we're the first tiling wm to try to support this stuff?) See here for details: http://xmonad.org/gnome.html and particularly talk to Joachim Breitner on the IRC channel, as he's looked into this a fair bit. -- Don
