I'm using my own program for this purporse: http://iportnov.ru/en/projects/qwerty-launcher-0 Still it's not `intelligent' (you config what programs you want run with what keys in config file), it's very useful for me :) WBR, Portnov.

Config feature poll (to use in future documentation/advertising)
by Ismael Carnales 08 Apr '09

What's the most interesting/practical feature that you have configured in your xmonad? What's the thing that you miss most when using your xmonad config? I'll start. For me definitively is the UrgencyHook, combined with DzezUrgency and UrgentPP (thanks asgaroth) With the Notifications you've got a messaging framework, anyone chats you on a pidgin window , you get notified and a shortcut to fly directly to that window (Message Notifications plugin), set the Bell on term and you got your IMAP mutt telling of new mails, even vim says 'i'm here!', combining the dzenFlashingBar with a different coloring of the workspace (for when you are not in front of the computer) makes it hard to miss anything new. The other thinguie, LayoutModifiers, withIM keeps my contact window fully open in my IM workspace and with combinators i use two different layouts to arrange pidgin windows and IRC windows, a dwm Grid when they're a few and a tabbed layout when i have to focus in one, someone talks you, the tab gets colored, you won't have to use pesky tabs in pidgin anymore, you keep navigating your IM windows with the same shortcuts of ever. (I'm in the search for a multiwindow CLI irc client :) In this moment the only thing i'm missing is an inteligent launcher that will present me my most used programs and map them to my home row on the keyboard, and that support searching (narrowing the selection) and passing arguments, but i'm fine with ShellPrompt altough I hate tabbing for the options, I think it would be better to create a floating window with more accesible navigation, like gridselect but for programs. Yours? P.S: if you use xmonad teamed with another DE, plz explain what keeps you from going full xmonad solo (maybe we can pack some good software and make a live-cd with some xmonad-desktop examples)

Issue 288 in xmonad: ResizableTall has problems being a sublayout
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 07 Apr '09

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 288 by konstantin.sobolev: ResizableTall has problems being a sublayout http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=288 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create a layout hook which will use ResizableTall as a sublayout, so it will manage only a subset of windows, for instance put it into a DragPane and put some windows in the second pane as well. 2. Send [Mirror]Shrink/Expand events What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Some random windows get resized, sometimes several windows at the same time (e.g. if there are two ReisizableTall's in both parts of the DragPane), sometimes none. I expect only focused window to be resized. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

darcs patch: Add Apply message to L.WindowNavigation (and 3 more)
by Adam Vogt 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Tue Mar 3 01:57:01 EST 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Add Apply message to L.WindowNavigation Thu Mar 19 12:15:31 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * sort exported modules in cabal file Mon Apr 6 00:13:01 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Document and extend BoringWindows to support multiple sources of boring. The Replace and Merge messages are added to support layouts sending a list of windows that should be skipped over. The sources are tagged by a string key, so it is possible though unlikely for different sources of boring windows to interfere with eachother. Mon Apr 6 00:24:17 EDT 2009 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com> * Add X.L.SubLayouts: A modifier for nesting layouts This LayoutModifier offers many options for managing the grouping of windows which are then handled by a single sublayout. The illusion of different sublayouts can be had by specifying which alternative layout should be used for each group. Decorated layouts can be used if they can be applied by a function like X.L.Tabbed.addTabs.

wanted feature question
by Jesper Jacobsson 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Best xmonad developers and users, I want a function in xmonad and I wonder if someone can implement it or if there is no interest, if developers can give me some pointers on how I can implement it myself for my personal usage. All info and input is appreciated. First I need to explain that I personally need a space/padding between the windowcontent to easily distinguish between windowareas and be able to focus on the window I work on. I have solved this atm by using a large black windowborder, maybe 25-50px around each window. This does indeed give me a black spacing between each contentwindow. This method works to solve one part of my problem and question. Now, think of an html table. A readable table has padding/space between the content within a call and the cellborder. The cell/table border has a valid function however to structure contents and make it easy for the eyes to wander to through the cells. I think this principle applies to xmonad aswell. Right now we have the table but no padding/spacing options. So I also would want to be able to get both spacing and border, and for this, the method of using the border for spacing doesnt solve it. Either I have to get a real padding/spacing option between windowborder and contents, OR, (if it is easier that is up to developers to explain to me), a second border around the normal windowborder could also accomplish the same. That is a black (or whatever) 25-50px border around the contentwindow for "spacing/padding", and a 1-3px border in another color around that border to form the "table border". Can someone either implement this or give me enough instructions so I can hack on it myself? I am not on the emaillist but will try to remember to check it now inthe future for replies to this question. Direct emails to my emailadress is best way to get reply to me, and I am also on freenode IRC as "jesperj". Feel free to PM me about it. Thank you very much.
