Hello. I want to use xmobar and to switch "alt" with "super" key for xmonad key binding. I have therefore setup this config file (someone gave it to me, I don't know Haskell). But it gives me errors and I can't figure out why: import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog main = xmonad =<< statusBar cmd pp kb conf where cmd = "xmobar" pp = xmobarPP kb = XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modMask} = (modMask, xK_b) conf = myConfig myConfig = defaultConfig { borderWidth = 2 , terminal = "urxvt" , modMask = mod4mask } So how do I fix this program? How do I configure xmobar to start with xmonad (and not hide behind opened windows) and swtich "alt" with "super"? Thanks in advance for your time and kind concern. jenia

Issue 584 in xmonad: Random crashes with vim running in Termite

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 584 by Svanti...(a)gmail.com: Random crashes with vim running in Termite https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=584 What steps will reproduce the problem? Open Termite and console vim in it. Enable jedi-vim plugin and edit some Python source code. When code-completion pops up, select anything and hit Enter to accept. From time to time XMonad will crash. Very hard to tell when it happens, because it sometimes does and sometimes not. Tried hard to investigate more, but with no results. In system console outside X-server jedi-vim runs with no problem. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Arch Linux x86_64, vim 7.4, jedi-vim plugin and XMonad 0.11 from official Arch repositories. GHC version: 7.8.3. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". $ xmonad --recompile gives no output.

patch: Add search string to X.A.GridSelect grid
by Dmitri Iouchtchenko 22 Dec '14

I find it very convenient to be able to use GridSelect to choose an option that isn't in the original list of options. One of the uses of this is to switch to a dynamic workspace that doesn't yet exist.

Issue 582 in xmonad: Add <XF86AudioMicMute> to EZConfig multimediaKeys

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 582 by enm...(a)gmail.com: Add <XF86AudioMicMute> to EZConfig multimediaKeys https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=582 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Assuming a script exists called "toggle-mic" in the user's PATH 2. Create keybinding for ("<XF86AudioMicMute>", spawn "toggle-mic") 3. Recompile/restart xmonad 4. Press <XF86AudioMicMute> 5. "toggle-mic is never called What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The script "toggle-mic" should have been called. It is not. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? community/xmonad 0.11-9 (Arch Linux, not from haskell-core) Linux 3.17.4-1 (Arch Linux) Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". xmonad --recompile (no output) Please provide any additional information below. I'm currently forced to use xbindkeys to recognize <XF86AudioMicMute> and launch my script to toggle to mic input.

(DynamicWorkspaces) Generalize new workspace addition functions to support arbitrary insertion
by Arjun Comar 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

This patch was developed based on a request for functionality at: http://www.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/2pnjse/dynamic_workspaces_appending… * Generalize new workspace addition functions to support arbitrary insertion. The current DynamicWorkspaces module only supports adding new workspaces at the start of the list of workspaces. This means when binding workspaces to keys based on the position in the list, key bindings can change as workspaces are added in removed in a far more destructive way than necessary. Instead, supporting appending and arbitrary insertion allows the user to determine where the new workspace should be added. This patch is a straight generalization of the addHiddenWorkspace' function. Rather than always using `(:)` to insert the new workspace into the list of workspaces, this patches causes it to use an arbitrary list insertion function instead. A few new functions are added to prevent breakage of external code while exported functions are left unchanged. List of new functions: appendWorkspace appendWorkspacePrompt addWorkspaceAt addHiddenWorkspaceAt Existing functions were modified to call their generalized brethren where possible without changing functionality. This patch should not change behavior for any existing users of this module.

darcs patch: X.L.Master: Add FixMaster layout modifier
by Anton Vorontsov 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Fri Dec 19 17:13:39 PST 2014 Anton Vorontsov <anton(a)enomsg.org> * X.L.Master: Add FixMaster layout modifier This layout modifier is useful for the case if you desire to add a master pane that has fixed width (it's fixed even if there is just one window opened). Especially nice feature if you don't want to have too wide terminal in a master pane. The layout is implemented as an addition to Master layout, so it reuses most of the code.

Issue 583 in xmonad: Lockup with runOrRaisePrompt
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 583 by Frederic...(a)gmail.com: Lockup with runOrRaisePrompt https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=583 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a couple of windows. 2. Use key combinations for the runOrRaise prompt. 3. While the prompt is open, click on a window which didn't have the focus. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected either the focus to change or at least the prompt to close. What actually happens is the whole xmonad session locks up. Unable to close the prompt, no key combinations work. Must kill the session. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? XMonad 0.11 on NixOS. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile".
