Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 453 by kaspar.b...(a)gmail.com: Layout.Magnifier conflicts with Actions.CycleSelectedLayouts http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=453 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Add this to your xmonad.hs: import XMonad.Layout.Magnifier as Mag import XMonad.Actions.CycleSelectedLayouts as Cycle myLayoutHook = windowNavigation . avoidStruts . smartBorders . Mag.maximizeVertical $ (named "default" mouseResizableTile ||| named "two pane" (TwoPane (3/100) (1/2) ) ||| named "full" Full ||| gimpLayout ||| pdfLayout) where gimpLayout = named "gimp layout" (simpleTabbed ****||* simpleTabbed) pdfLayout = named "pdf layout" (simpleTabbed *||* mouseResizableTile)main = xmonad $ defaultConfig { terminal = "cat ~/.cwd | xargs urxvt -cd" , modMask = mod4Mask --rebind Mod to Windows Key , manageHook = myManageHook , layoutHook = myLayoutHook } `additionalKeys` [ , ((mod4Mask, xK_g ), Cycle.cycleThroughLayouts ["gimp layout", "default"]) , ((mod4Mask, xK_r ), Cycle.cycleThroughLayouts ["pdf layout", "default"]) , ((mod4Mask, xK_space), Cycle.cycleThroughLayouts ["full", "default"]) , ((mod4Mask, xK_d ), Cycle.cycleThroughLayouts ["two pane", "default"]) ] 2. Recompile xmonad.hs 3. Try to use keys to cycle through layouts. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Keys should toggle between layouts but instead get stuck on layout they are switching to. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

darcs patch: Extend navigation functions in X.A.GridSelect.
by Ilya Portnov 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hello all. This patch adds two functions to XMonad.Actions.GridSelect: moveNext and movePrev. They move selection in gridselect to next and previous elements, respectively. One may map them to Tab/Shift-Tab keys. For example, I use Alt-Tab to call gridselect with windows on current workspace, and myGSConfig = defaultGSConfig { gs_navigate = search, gs_font = myFont } search :: TwoD a (Maybe a) search = makeXEventhandler $ shadowWithKeymap keymap handler where keymap = M.fromList [ ((0,xK_Escape), cancel) ,((0,xK_Return), select) ,((0,xK_Left) , move (-1,0) >> search) ,((0,xK_Right) , move (1,0) >> search) ,((0,xK_Down) , move (0,1) >> search) ,((0,xK_Up) , move (0,-1) >> search) ,((0,xK_Tab) , moveNext >> search) ,((shiftMask,xK_Tab), movePrev >> search) ,((0,xK_BackSpace), transformSearchString (\s -> if (s == "") then "" else init s) >> search) ] handler (_,s,_) = do transformSearchString (++ s) search So, I can use Alt-Tab-Tab-Tab-Return to select needed window. WBR, Ilya Portnov.

darcs patch: Generalize X.L.AutoMaster layout modifier
by Ilya Portnov 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hello all. X.L.AutoMaster is my old layout modifier. It was written to work only with Windows. This patch generalizes it, so it can work with any (forall w. Eq w) type. For example, now it may be used to group windows in X.L.Groups. WBR, Ilya Portnov.

xmonad as stacking wm
by sergio 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello. I'm looking for wm with randr support, which can manage screens (monitors) independently. As I know, xmonad can this, but I hate tiling. So the question is: is it possible to setup xmonad so, that it looked like a tiling wm? I've already tried to to this, but I'm newbie in xmonad. As I understand there are two way to do this: float layer and layout. But looks like it's impossible to do layout things with float layer. For example, how to add window decoration to float window? And with layout I can't understand how to move windows with mouse. (With alt pressed). Is is possible to find some such sample configs? What could you say about bluetile? I've heard that it merged into xmonad, but I haven't find it in darcs. -- sergio.

darcs patch: Compile with ghc7 (and 1 more)
by Mats Rauhala 11 May '11

11 May '11

2 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Wed May 4 22:24:55 EEST 2011 Mats Rauhala <mats.rauhala(a)gmail.com> * Compile with ghc7 Fri May 6 12:44:31 EEST 2011 Mats Rauhala <mats.rauhala(a)gmail.com> * Aesthetics on Flexiblemanipulate Based on Adam Vogts recommendation on the mailing list. I had to give explicit type signatures to get rid of warnings, but nearly verbatim to his version. ----------- I'm not sure of the darcs etiquette on these kinds of situations. I had already sent the ghc7 patch to the mailing list earlier, and Adam Vogt gave recommendation on flexiblemanipulate. I implemented his suggestion, and darcs recommends/mandates to send both of the patches again. The basic gist of the patches is to stop warnings on ghc7

darcs patch: New layout combinator: LayoutBuilderP, and one more.
by Ilya Portnov 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello xmonad world. X.L.LayoutBuilderP is a layout combinator similar to X.L.LayoutBuilder (and is based on it). But LayoutBuilder places fixed number of windows into each rectangle. LayoutBuilderP places windows matching given Property (or any other predicate) into one rectangle. darcs could not record my patch because of warnings in X.A.DynamicWorkspaces: XMonad/Actions/DynamicWorkspaces.hs:40:0: Warning: The import of `XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow' is redundant except perhaps to import instances from `XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow' To import instances alone, use: import XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow() XMonad/Actions/DynamicWorkspaces.hs:41:0: Warning: The import of `XMonad.Prompt' is redundant except perhaps to import instances from `XMonad.Prompt' To import instances alone, use: import XMonad.Prompt() <no location info>: Failing due to -Werror. Test failed! So, I removed redudant imports from that module (see the second patch). WBR, Ilya Portnov.

darcs patch: Compile with ghc7
by Mats Rauhala 11 May '11

11 May '11

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Wed May 4 22:24:55 EEST 2011 Mats Rauhala <mats.rauhala(a)gmail.com> * Compile with ghc7 I'm not sure if someone was already working on getting xmonad-contrib to work with ghc7 and I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes. Until now (at least I) it wasn't possible to record changes with ghc7, because of warnings emitted by the change to ghc7. There were a couple of warnings about -fglasgow-exts, a couple of orphan instances, and a couple of warnings about useless imports (which were there for haddock!). I doubt that this is a perfect solution, and should be checked with a magnifying glass. There were pretty big changes to FlexibleManipulate.hs because the `type Pnt = (Double, Double)` caused orphan instances warning to be emitted. I hope someone would take their time to check the changes with ghc6 so that I didn't break anything with it. Gwen gave me a couple of tips, but there might be something else also.

Keybinding to disable keybindings
by Jan-David Quesel 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, is there a way to have a keybinding to disable all keybindings but one, i.e. the one to reenable the others? This would come handy to me for example when using VNC and I want to passthrough some keybindings to the client...
