Configure eating of keys based on window class
by Jiří Maršíček 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi, would it be possible to configure xmonad to eat certain keys or key combinations to windows based on some predicate (window className) or globaly? I have tried to define this globaly by adding the following line to my keybindings: ((0, xK_Super_L), return ()) (As explained in https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2012-February/012402.html) But this does not appear to work (key is still processed in the active window) Thanks a lot for any thoughts.

Issue 576 in xmonad: On FreeBSD Xmonad loses first hotkey sometimes
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 576 by martin.s...(a)gmail.com: On FreeBSD Xmonad loses first hotkey sometimes http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=576 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install FreeBSD (amd64). 2. Write a minimal xmonad.hs with xterm binding. 3. Start xmonad in Xorg. 4. Try (multiple times) Mod+Shift+Return. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? It's expected that xterm opens with the first time Mod+Shift+Return is pressed. Sometimes Xmonad loses the key-combo and you need to press it twice in fast succession. If you wait too long between the first and the second time in sequence, the hotkey will be lost again and again. I repeat once again: it happens SOMETIMES, but on average every 4th time. Try to open terminal and exit it again (Mod+Shift+Return -> Ctrl-D -> Mod+Shift+Return -> Ctrl-D -> ...). What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? hs-xmonad-0.11_7 FreeBSD 10.0 RELEASE (amd64). Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". You don't need mine. Use a minimal one: import XMonad main = xmonad defaultConfig { modMask = mod1Mask , terminal = "xterm" } Additional info: Cannot be reproduced on Linux. Everything works as expected there. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

'resetScreenSaver' from 'Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc'
by Dontdie YCH 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Hello, I'm looking for what is proper method to inhibit screensaver(DPMS) without xscreensaver, KDE, GNOME ... . My video player 'bomi'(was cmplayer) try these, in order, ~~~ [App] Initialize screensaver functions. [App] Try to connect 'org.gnome.SessionManager'. [App] Failed to connect 'org.gnome.SessionManager'. Fallback to 'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver'. [App] Failed to connect 'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver'. Fallback to XResetScreenSaver(). [App] Disable screensaver with XResetScreenSaver(). ~~~ But it does not working. I didn't know how I directly deal with X11 lib. Fortunately, I found 'resetScreenSaver' from 'Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc' that say interface to XResetScreenSaver(). resetScreenSaver.hs : ~~~ import Graphics.X11.Xlib import Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc import Control.Concurrent import Control.Monad main = do dpy <- openDisplay "" forever $ do putStrLn "reset" resetScreenSaver dpy threadDelay (5*1000000) ~~~ ~~~ $ xset s 10 $ runhaskell resetScreenSaver.hs ~~~ Unfortunately, It does not working. `activateScreenSaver` and `forceScreenSaver` also does not working. But `xset s reset` is working as intended and also there is `xdg-screensaver [ suspend | resume | reset ]` command from 'xdg-utils' package (Arch). It looks like abstraction layer for xset, xscreensaver, KDE, GNOME ... . So I'm curious about whether this is bug of xorg or I misunderstand something. And what is right way to do this if I don't want any screensaver daemon? `xset s` or `xdg-screensaver`? Thanks.

Re: Issue 254 in xmonad: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal"

Comment #6 on issue 254 by klu...(a)gmail.com: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal" http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=254 I wrote a routine to double-quote and escape shell input, and it _seems_ to work for me. I've added it to Prompt.Ssh instead of changing runInTerm, but it logically belongs there. That is, I call ssh s = runInTerm "" (bashDblQuote ("ssh " ++ s)) where bashDblQuote is the quoting function. Attachments: dblquote.hs 866 bytes OtherSsh.hs 3.4 KB

Dealing with large amounts of pages in a common web browser
by Troels Henriksen 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I have been using xmonad for some years now, and all throughout, the browser I have been using has been a private fork of surf[0], which is essentially just a Webkit webview in a window by itself. However, I would like to switch to a more widely used browser (Chrome, Firefox, Conkeror, whatever) for usability and security reasons. The nice thing about surf is that it opens a window per page, which means that they are all visible to xmonad, and navigable through things like GridSelect, which would not be the case if I simply had two dozen tabs open in Firefox. However, sometimes tabs are nice - specifically, it's practical to use CTRL-clicking to open new pages in the background. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Some combination of Firefox hacks and xmonad layouts? How do you set up your browsers? [0]: http://surf.suckless.org/ -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen

Hi everyone, Sorry for not sending proper darcs patch but, I can't setup a monad-contrib dev setup without screwing my xmonad 0.11 configuration (got into cabal hell situation). So I attach the code with that email. Thanks for your time. Yorick
