Hello. Could someone give me an example of manageHook that will tile window if it's width is more that some constant and float it otherwise? And another question, is it possible to send window to specific subLayout from manageHook? Thanks. -- Victor.

Issue 435 in xmonad: no longer possible to bind actions to mod2Mask + key
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 435 by pluni...(a)gmail.com: no longer possible to bind actions to mod2Mask + key http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=435 It no longer seems possible to bind an action to mod2Mask + any key, or to configure xmonad to treat a key differently depending on whether the NumLock modifier is on. I believe this issue may be related to issue #120. Note that the template xmonad.hs as of 0.9.1 said the following, noting that the ability "to treat numlock status separately" was a feature, and I agree that users should be able to do so if they choose: -- Set numlockMask = 0 if you don't have a numlock key, or want to treat -- numlock status separately. To reproduce (modified from xmonad.hs template): myNumlockMask = 0 -- ... (in keys) , ((mod2Mask .|. mod4Mask, xK_KP_Home), spawn "exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && eval \"exec $exe\"") , ((mod4Mask, xK_KP_Home), spawn "gmrun") -- ... 0.9.1 behavior (0.9.1-2build2 on Ubuntu 10.10): NumLock off: Pressing mod4-KP_Home runs gmrun NumLock on : Pressing mod4-KP_7 runs dmenu, as expected. darcs behavior: NumLock off: Pressing mod4-KP_Home runs gmrun NumLock on : Pressing mod4-KP_7 runs gmrun, not dmenu. The user with the above config would expect dmenu.

GenerateManpage.hs doesn't work on Maverick
by Karl Ljungkvist 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi, I'm trying to make a developement package of xmonad for ubuntu. When I run runhaskell GenerateManpage.hs under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), I get the following error: GenerateManpage.hs: user error (Pattern match failure in do expression at util/GenerateManpage.hs:79:4-17) The following package versions are installed: libghc6-pandoc-dev 1.5.1.1-5build1 libghc6-regex-base-dev 0.93.1-8 libghc6-regex-posix-dev 0.94.1-2 I've tried running it under Ubuntu 10.04, and there it works. There, these version are installed: libghc6-regex-base-dev 0.93.1-6 libghc6-regex-posix-dev 0.93.2-5 libghc6-pandoc-dev 1.5.1.1-3ubuntu1 It also works under up-to-date Arch Linux with these versions: haskell-pandoc 1.8.1.1-1 haskell-regex-base 0.93.2-1.1 haskell-regex-posix 0.94.2-1 I can't really see what in GenerateManpage.hs is so sensitive to these versions. It might of course be related to something completely different. Can someone help me out here? Regards, Karl Ljungkvist

multiple window apps
by Sean Allen 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

In my case, the multiple window app is Eclipse. I have a dual monitor setup with each screen having its own set of workspaces. Eclipse being what it is, I want to be able to pull some of its tabs out into their own windows on the 'secondary' monitor. I can do that but when I quit eclipse and start it back up, everything opens on 1 monitor with the main eclipse window opening behind the others that are floating ( I assume they get marked as transient or something like that... ) Are there any blog posts, modules, example configs out there that I can take a look at to figure out how to get this setup working on application launch? Any other advice is appreciated as well. In case it helps, here is my current xmonad.hs: https://github.com/SeanTAllen/dotxmonad/blob/master/xmonad.hs

Mod-P blanks screen (XMonad.Config.Gnome)
by Max Rabkin 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Hi I'm using XMonad.Config.Gnome (at least, its keybindings) under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), through gnome (with XMonad set as my window manager). My xmonad.hs is copied from another machine, which is running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), where it works fine. Instead of opening the "run application" dialog, pressing mod-p (mod = left super) blanks the screen for about a second. When it comes back on, there is still no dialog. Has anybody else encountered this, or know a solution? --Max

How to get floating focused window on top?
by Juan Pedro Bolivar Puente 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hello, When dealing with focused windows like dialogs quite often a popup window appears *behind* the main window, stealing the focus. To get access to that window one has to move the main window to get to it. This is quite annoying and it could be easily solved if the focused window where kept on top of the floating windows stack. Is there any way to set this behaviour? Thanks a lot, JP

ManageHook question
by Sean Allen 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi all, If I wasn't still an almost total Haskell newbie, this would probably be easy for me to answer for myself. As is... If I want to have a manage hook that will run anytime a window title contains a string how do I do that? For example title =? 'downloads' --> doIgnore but instead of exactly matching title against 'downloads' we want to run the doIgnore for any window whose title contains 'downloads'. -Sean-

Patch for extending spawnSelected with labels
by danielehlers＠mindeye.net 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi, I have extended and refactored the spawnSelected function from xmonad-contrib (XMonad.Action.GridSelect). The idea behind this patch is follwing: When using the classic spawnSelected function with long command lines and in combination with defaultGSConfig the label displayed in the grid did not fit into the label. This could be very confusing if two or more entries have the same prefix. For example multiple xrandr entries. regards Daniel
