Issue 153: Need to type keybindings twice after startup for effect http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=153 Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen: This may seem silly, but I'd just like to make sure: have you given xmonad enough time to initialize and begin listening for keypresses before typing them? If the cached xmonad binary is stale compared to your xmonad.hs, this may take a significant amount of time. Perhaps another program is stealing this first keypress? I'm not familiar enough with the programs in your .xsession to know whether this is the case. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Patch for an additional color theme in XMonad.Util.Themes
by Will Farrington 23 Mar '08

After some hair-pulling, and help from oxymoro00n in IRC, I've created a patch to add my own blue/black color theme to the other themes in Themes.hs

Feature request - two new mouse bindings functions needed
by mjf＠ligatura.org 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Hello XMonad developers. I would like to ask whether is it possible to add 2 new mouse bindings functions I need. Let me explain shortly: I need 2 functions to be binded to, say, Control-Left/Right-drag like this: ---snip--- ++ [ ((controlMask, button1), \w -> focus w >> mouseLayoutMoveWindow w) , ((controlMask, button3), \w -> focus w >> mouseLayoutResizeWindow w) ] ---snip--- I hope the names of the functions are self-explanatory, but for case they are not let me express their expected behaviour: The mouseLayoutMoveWindow function would act on whole window's rectangle and while dragging it will move the window *inside* the layout (that means *not* floating it). The mouseLayoutResizeWindow will resize the window *inside* the layout while dragging on whole window's rectangle. While not dragging it will just cause focus on the selected window, which in fact means it will do nothing (because the "focus w >>" in the mouse bindings as seen above). These two functions are really needed. Not only there will be a possibility of creating a floating layout that will not use some "decorations" for window moving (in fact I somehow feel there is no simpleFloat variant without decoration because of the fact) and only a right-bottom corner for window resizing as it is when you use mouseResize $ windowArrange layout modifiers, but it will also obsolete both XMonad.Actions.MouseResize and XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger contributed modules. For the latter case I would suggest giving people also two more derivated functions: mouseLayoutMoveWindow' <rectangle> mouseLayoutResizeWindow' <rectangle> to manualy specify the rectangle relatively to the window's rectangle where dragging would work in only. These two could be then used in the simpleFloat instead of current implementation. I hope somebody of you would be so nice and implement it. It will make XMonad even more usable for some people (me included). I can not implement it myself, because I just started with Haskell (few days ago). Thanks for you attention to my message and I wish you all happy hacking. -- mjf

Issue 162: Add ResizeableTall layouts to DecorationMadness http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=162 Comment #2 by dons00: Looks like we'll be deprecating DecorationMadness, and moving its examples into documentation (rather than precanned n*m layout combinations). closing.

Issue 163 in xmonad: Add hoogle index/search to web interface
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Mar '08

Issue 163: Add hoogle index/search to web interface http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=163 New issue report by dons00: hoogle uses databases to generate a search/query interface to a haskell source tree, with cross references to documentation. See: http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ It should be a great help for users looking for the definitions of things. Cross linking to Prelude/other libraries would also be a bonus. (Note that the xmonad docs hosted on hackage already include cross links).

Prompt.RunOrRaise
by Justin Bogner 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

This patch implements a prompt which runs an application if it's not running, raises the existing one if it is running, or opens a file using xdg-open (which selects a preferred application) if you select something that isn't executable. The implementation is a little hairy, and code cleanup would be very welcome. Let me know what you think. _____ Justin Bogner

patch to add mod-shift-tab to the default bindings
by Mathias Stearn 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

This helped me make the transitions and it might help others. mod-shift-tab moves in the opposite direction from mod-tab as in most other WMs.
