xmonad-contrib patch

Hi all, Just wanted to say Thanks! to everyone for XMonad. I've got it running with gnome for the panels but it blows the gnome WM out of the water. I did run across some functionality I wanted that didn't exist so I wrote it up (attached). On reflection I should have added a long patch message. I found WindowGo for runOrRaise but often I want to pull a window (browser, mail, etc) to my current workspace instead of going to the one it's in. copyOrRun (and underlying copyMaybe) do that. Cheers, -ljr New patches: [XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow runOrCopy lan3ny(a)gmail.com**20080602205742] { hunk ./XMonad/Actions/CopyWindow.hs 5 --- Copyright : (c) David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net>, Ivan Veselov <veselov(a)gmail.com> +-- Copyright : (c) David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net>, Ivan Veselov <veselov(a)gmail.com>, Lanny Ripple <lan3ny(a)gmail.com> hunk ./XMonad/Actions/CopyWindow.hs 20 - copy, copyToAll, copyWindow, killAllOtherCopies, kill1 + copy, copyToAll, copyWindow, runOrCopy + , killAllOtherCopies, kill1 hunk ./XMonad/Actions/CopyWindow.hs 25 +import Control.Monad (filterM) hunk ./XMonad/Actions/CopyWindow.hs 55 +-- Instead of copying a window from a workset to a workset maybe you don't +-- want to have to remember where you placed it.

Ratpoison key emulation
by Gwern Branwen 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Hiya everyone. So as I've long mused about, I've gotten around to seeing how difficult it'd be to do a Ratpoison style keymap for XMonad. It went reasonably well, but I've run into a number of Ratpoison commands where I can't see what to bind them to (or whether the functionality is implemented in XMC somewhere I just don't know about), so I thought I'd demonstrate what I have and see whether anyone has any suggestions. The code is as follows: {- Not implemented: C-t C-t Switch to the last window. C-t t Sometimes you need to send a C-t to the current window. This keystroke does just that. C-t A C-t C-A Rename the current window. The window's new name will prevail for the rest of its lifetime. C-t ' C-t C-' Go to a window by name. You will usually only need to type the first few characters of the window name. C-t a C-t C-a Display the current time of day. C-t : This allows you to execute a single ratpoison command. C-t i C-t C-i Display information about the current window. C-t m C-t C-m Display the last message. C-t V C-t C-V Display ratpoison's license. C-t w C-t C-w Display the list of managed windows. The current window is highlighted. C-t M-tab Switch to the last focused frame. C-t Q Kill all frames but the current one. C-t R Kill the current frame. This is a no-op if there is only one frame. C-t r C-t C-r Resize the current frame. C-t ? Display a help screen. C-t f C-t C-f select a frame by number. C-t F Indicate which frame is the current frame. C-t x C-t C-x Choose a frame and exchange the window in the current frame with the window in the chosen frame. -} -- | This list, duplicates and all is based off of -- <http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/doc/Default-Key-Bindings.html#Default Key Bindings>. ratpoisonKeys :: XConfig t -> Map (KeyMask, KeySym) (X ()) ratpoisonKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = m}) = M.fromList $ [ -- rebind standard -- actions -- this defines our root-key - mod-t ((m, xK_t), submap .

Screen workspaces not working on new Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 install
by Adr3nal D0S 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I was using Xmonad quite successfully on Slackware 12 and 12.1. However, we were recently forced to switch to 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 at work. Under Slackware I was able to have a separate workspace on my left and right monitors. With Hardy I have a single workspace that spans both monitors. I've even gone so far as using the same xorg.conf on both and the hand-built Xmonad I was using under Slackware, yet the behavior persists. Comparing the xdpyinfo output and the xorg.0.logs the only major difference that I see is Hardy has DRI working and a few newer versions of some X modules. I am at a loss as to what could cause this. But it makes Xmonad useless to me and I'm dying in Gnome. Please help.

Issue 168 in xmonad: gnome-panel with autohide enabled appears behind main windows
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 07 Jul '08

Issue 168: gnome-panel with autohide enabled appears behind main windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=168 Comment #1 by gwern0: Just to add a comment: I can reproduce this in darcs XMonad, Ubuntu Hardy Heron, using ManageDocks as well (see my xmonad.hs). This bug is kind of annoying, since autohide is the best way to save gnome-panel wasted space (once you've consolidated into a single panel and have shrunk it down as much as possible), even if you can work around it by going to an empty workspace. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Problem with accessibility
by Maurício 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi, I use mouse keyboard control (i.e., I press Alt-Shift-NumLock and then I can use the numeric pad to control the mouse). However, when using xmonad, I loose that control at random times. I've confirmed that this seems to be a problem with xmonad, since in metacity it works well. This is my xmonad.hs: ---------------- import XMonad import XMonad.Layout.Grid main = xmonad $ defaultConfig {borderWidth=11, modMask=mod4Mask, normalBorderColor="#00ff00", focusFollowsMouse=False, layoutHook =((Tall 0 (1/100) (1/2)) ||| (Tall 1 (1/100) (9/10)))} ---------------- What do you think may be the reason for that? Thanks, Maurício

Key bindings with letteral buttons
by Mishustin Alexey 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I'm using Xmonad with GNOME on Debian Etch. And I have the following trouble: Xmonad doesn't work at all key bindings with letteral (A-Z,a-z) buttons. Key bindings with non-letteral (1-9,Tab,etc) buttons work normally. I have learned how to reassign commands to key bindings in xmonad.hs but it doesn't help because reassigning command to a non-working key binding doesn't make it working. I succeded in reassigning commands only to non-letteral key bindings. For example, I kill now the window in focus by Mod+Tab. A detail: when pressing an existing in xmonad key binding with a letteral button while a window with the text input (for example, Gedit) is in focus, nothing letter is being printed in this window, as if the system DO KNOW this key binding. Instead, when pressing a non-existing in xmonad key binding key bindings with a letteral button, the corresponding letter is being printed. I tried to find if any other program handles the key bindings with letteral buttons but didn't find nothing for my Mod (Mod4, Win). There is no default key bindings with Win in GNOME. I tried to change all avalaible options in System->Parametres->Keyboard->Layout preferences->Buttons Alt/Win and notning changed. Please help me to understand what could cause the problem. Regards, Alex

Problem with urxvt, different-sized monitors and ncurses
by Michal 'vorner' Vaner 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hello I have a small problem. I have 2 monitors with different sizes and run few ncurses-based applications in urxvt (mutt, irssi). When I resize the urxvt window on the screen (like running another application, forcing it to shrink), everything is OK. But when I move it to other screen (switching to the screen and bringing it's virtual desktop there), the application does not change it's size -- urxvt changes it's size, but the app is missing some of it's parts or occupying only part of urxvt. I'm not sure it is xmonad's fault, but since it does resize OK sometimes, I think it is not problem in ncurses nor urxvt. I would therefore like to ask, where is the best place to start searching for the source of this problem? It is there both with darcs version and 0.7. Thank you very much -- No, you will not fix me Computer Michal 'vorner' Vaner

So maybe it's a problem with either mutt or irssi. I tried mc, it does not happen every time, only something like one time out of five. I tried with konsole and xterm, with same result, so it seems it is not urxvt's fault. Which version of ncurses do you have? And, do you have it with unicode? (It could maybe caused by this) Thank you PS: Sorry to Jésus for the duplicity, I hit wrong reply button the first time. -- You can't have everything... where would you put it? -- Steven Wright Michal 'vorner' Vaner
