Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #2 by andrea.rossato: Hi, I think you should try with the darcs version (which is going to become version 0.3 I believe). Indeed I'm using it and I cannot reproduce your problem. Andrea -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #1 by chikito...(a)yahoo.es: In the second paragraph, I meant: you start xmonad, it opens a window (for example, a terminal), you open a second window, you change the layout and focus goes to the first window.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 New issue report by chikito...(a)yahoo.es: When cursor moves to the border of the screen (say, the bottom border) and mouse is not moved again, unclutter detects that cursor is quiet and erase it, but apparently xmonad thinks that mouse is still moving and thus, when changing focus or layout, focus goes to the window where the cursor is (bottom window) and mod-j, mod-k don't work anymore. Even if I change the layout, focus is still in the same window. I have to move the cursor outside the border to get mod-j, mod-k working again. This is particularly annoying when you start xmonad, create a new window, change the layout and suddenly focus moves to the previous window and can't be changed (because cursor is on the border but you didn't realize because it is not visible). I use xmonad 0.2, didn't check darcs version.

X11-extras 0.3 Release Candidate
by Spencer Janssen 24 Aug '07

Here is the first (hopefully only) release candidate for X11-extras 0.3. Please try it out and report any bugs. http://xmonad.org/X11-extras-0.2.20070824.tar.gz Cheers, Spencer Janssen

0.3 coming soon.
by Spencer Janssen 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

It is that time again -- xmonad 0.3 is right around the corner. We're putting xmonad, XMonadContrib, and X11-extras under a feature freeze. If you've got patches that we haven't applied yet, don't worry, we haven't forgotten them! We'll apply them right after 0.3 is tagged and released Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Plus, shells are often sources of problems, and it's tidier to have all the logic in one place. Anyway, I don't think I'll send in a contrib module just yet. hxsel should probably be factored out into two functions, a main that prints stuff to stdout and the actual selection-fetching code; that way it doesn't have to be duplicated. Further, I'm having problems integrating it into Config.hs: I finally got it to compile like this: , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_g ), spawn $ "google" ++ unsafePerformIO(getSelection)) But notice I used unsafePerformIO. The reason is that if you try to simply concatenate "google" and getSelection, there's a type mismatch. You can then try using liftM to do it, like ("google"++) `liftM` getSelection, and that will work well. Unfortunately, spawn :: String -> X (), so spawn needs to be lifted. (The internal /bin/sh stuff apparently requires a String too, so it's not spawn's fault.) But if you go 'spawn (("google"++) `liftM` getSelection' - which on its own would work - the resulting type is something like IO ( X ()). And that just can't be allowed inside 'keys'. At least, the only solution I could find was to just slice the Gordian knot and avoid introducing the IO signature in the first place. Monads may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but most of the time they're just a pain :( -- gwern extraction Iris MITM Fortezza FBIS Chelsea Love Coderpunks 64 stakeout

xmonad-utils: small x apps for xmonad
by Andrea Rossato 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi, I'm putting together some small x applications I find useful to run with xmonad. The idea *was* to make some nice small Haskell examples of X applications, but I don't think I'm really so willing to rewrite them in a nice style... I prefer invest some time in learning _new_ cool Haskell stuff...;-) Still I find them useful and I'm going to share them. Since one requires the darcs version of X11-Extras if I'll release them I'll do after xmonad-0.3. You can grab them here: darcs get http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/xmonad-utils/ What's inside: 1. hslock: a CHaskell rewrite of slock/alock whatever. To lock the screen.[1] 2. hxsel: a CHaskell rewrite of sselp[2]. It returns the string currently in the X selection. I use it for opening urls, looking up words in the dictionary: I select a word with the mouse and then I bind a xmonad key to execute a small bash script like: #!/bin/sh URL=`hxsel` /usr/lib/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openurl(${URL},new-tab)" 3. hmanage: to toggle override_redirect. Makes a window unmanaged. The window id you need can be retrieved with xwininfo. [1] http://www.suckless.org/download/slock-0.6.tar.gz [2] http://www.suckless.org/download/sselp-0.1.tar.gz Now that I have reimplemented dmenu, slock and sselp only lsw and swarp are left...;-) andrea ps: I will be off line till Sunday, starting from tonight (~22.00 UTC).

haddock documentation
by Andrea Rossato 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi, since I'm going offline and I hope to come back and find a new XMonad release, I'm sending the stuff I use to generate the documentation, so that, if you release before my coming back, you can generate the documentation by yourself. Attached you'll find: 1. a patch to haddock (needed for the deriving clause of the X newtype) 2. a modified Setup.lhs with a haddock hook that will use the package description on the first page of the documentation 3. a cabal file with all the modules: the one I'm sending is updated to the last darcs version. I use the metamodule to get the list of modules. That's it: runhaskell Setup.haddockHook.lhs haddock Ciao andrea
