darcs patch: add descriptions field for Layouts, to allow querying ...
by David Roundy 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi all, This is intended to be used with a XPrompt module for changing layouts, and for a replacement for Select, which won't require the use of the Layout and existentials, and should therefore simplify the code, removing the need for the stupid SerializedLayouts. David Wed Oct 24 07:38:58 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add descriptions field for Layouts, to allow querying what layouts are available.

We've heard from myself, Roundy, and Andrea. How is XMonad going to do them? Implicit vs. explicit, alphabetical vs. by first use vs. by commonness by... there are a lot of options, and I think this is one of the things it'd be better to just have you and sjanssen declare by fiat. > I favour no import lists these days. -- Don

Issue 69 in xmonad: Key binding improvements
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 24 Oct '07

Issue 69: Key binding improvements http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=69 Comment #8 by SpencerJanssen: Submap is sufficient, here's what you need to do: - delete all of the default keybindings - add a single keybinding for your desired prefix key that activates a submap - add all the desired keybindings to your submap I don't think we'll add this functionality to the core.

Help: sendMessage doesn't work for me in combineTwo
by Xiao-Yong Jin 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi list, I added the following to my Config.hs hunk ./Config.hs 141 + , Layout $ combineTwo (TwoPane delta (5%16)) + (Mirror tiled) + (Circle) hunk ./Config.hs 240 + + -- for combineTwo + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_l), sendMessage $ Move R) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_h), sendMessage $ Move L) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Up), sendMessage $ Move U) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Down), sendMessage $ Move D) in the hope that pressing the key would move a window from one pane to the other. But I can't. Pressing the key combination doesn't do anything. Am I doing anything wrong? Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

How to make mouse follow focus?
by Xiao-Yong Jin 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

It would be easy to do selection and paste with the mouse if it's near the window with focus. Perhaps making the mouse move to the upper right corner of the window, when every time focus changes, is a good way to go? If I understand it correctly, I probably need to do something with the layoutHooks? Please help me to figure out how to achieve this, thanks. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

darcs patch: STYLE: enlarge on existing principles
by gwern0＠gmail.com 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Tue Oct 23 18:52:25 EDT 2007 gwern0(a)gmail.com * STYLE: enlarge on existing principles Comments: the -Wall thing was just trying to say -Wall -Werror should work. The license thing was too narrow - or are my public domain contributions unwelcome because they are not BSD-3? I think comments are most important for exported functions users will use; it isn't so important for helper functions (used only in the module) to be very well-documented, right?

Fwd: Constrained resize for floated windows
by Dougal Stanton 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I made a tiny patch for the main Xmonad code, to allow constrained resizing of windows. Hold down mod-SHIFT-button3 instead of just mod-button3, and the window will resize with width=height. I find this useful for resizing analogue xclock without getting an out-of-shape clock face. If it's not deemed useful for mainline I've packaged it as a contribution as well. constrainResize.mainline.diff - touches Config.hs and Operations.hs or constrainResize.contrib.diff - adds XMonadContrib/ConstrainedResize.hs - touches MetaModule.hs Cheers, Dougal. PS. This is my second attempt at submitting a patch here. Is there nowhere one can submit a patch without first signing up? The ease of 'darcs send' is more than counteracted by the annoyance of creating an account... /grumble grumble
