Two patches for xmonad-contrib: new layout modifier and new "conditional" layout
by Ilya Portnov 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello XMonad world. There are two patches for xmonad-contrib. InRegion is a layout modifier. It runs underlying layout in restricted rectangle region. You specify that region with X,Y coordinates of top-left corner, and width, height of rectangle. All numbers are specified as parts of whole region (e.g., screen dimensions). So, "inRegion 0 0 1 1 someLayout" will just run someLayout as is. "inRegion 0.15 0 0.7 1 Full" will give you 15% margins at left and at right. IfMax layout is a "conditional layout". It runs one layout, if there are as maximum N windows, and otherwise it runs another layout. Example: > ifMax 2 Full (Tall ...) In this example, if there are 1 or 2 windows, Full layout will be used; otherwise, Tall layout will be used. With best regards, Ilya Portnov.

how to handle "request focus" events properly
by Javran Cheng 17 Dec '13

Hi there, I'm wondering what is the proper way of handling some "request focus" events, I have some scenario here: scenario #1: - I have multiple firefox windows running. one of which has opened a " twitter.com". - I open another firefox window in another workspace, as I'm typing in " twitter.com", firefox gives me an option to "Switch to tab", but when I press enter on it, nothing happens. scenario #2: - I have a pidgin running, I want to click the icon from system tray(for example, trayer) and open the buddy list. - If the buddy list has been opened in somewhere else, nothing will happen as well. I'm not familar with Xlib but I think they might have some events to tell xmonad that a window is requesting the focus, that would be great if I can modify my conf to handle these messages. I'll appreciate it if you can give me some hints. Thanks
