Hi, Has anyone implemented this kill -STOP/-CONT hack: · https://blog.mister-muffin.de/2014/11/07/automatically-suspending-cpu-hungr… in XMonad? Best regards, Adam -- "Time is getting short; every midnight I feel 48 Adam Sjøgren hours older. And twice as useless." asjo(a)koldfront.dk

Case insensitive WindowBringer
by Jack Bates 27 Apr '16

I love WindowBringer but I sometimes forget the menu items (window titles) are all lowercase. I type a capital letter, e.g. "Makefile" and get no results. Would you consider a pull request to make it case insensitive?

Floating Terminator moves 1px everytime
by Jeroen Budts 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi all, I started experimenting with xmonad as the window manager for XFCE a few days ago (having used the default xfwm4 for several years), so I'm very new to xmonad, Haskell and tiling window managers in general. I use Terminator as my terminal, but i have configured it so I can use it 'quake-style': with xfwm4 it appears over my other windows when I press <F12> and disappears when pressing <F12> again. To simulate this same behavior in xmonad I configured Terminator to always float. This works, but every time I hide and open the Terminator window again it moves 1 pixel to the right and bottom. Initially it is to the left edge of the screen and just below the xfce-panel, but after using it a few times there is a 'gap' between the edge of the screen and terminator and between xfce-panel and terminator. I have no idea what is causing this, any help would be much appreciated :) Here is my xmonad.hs config: import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Xfce import XMonad.Layout.Spacing import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks myLayout = spacing 5 $ layoutHook xfceConfig myManageHook = composeAll [ className =? "Terminator" --> doFloat , className =? "Thunderbird" --> doShift "1" , className =? "Firefox" --> doShift "2" , className =? "Spotify" --> doShift "9" , className =? "Banshee" --> doShift "9"] main = xmonad xfceConfig { modMask = mod4Mask , terminal = "xfce4-terminal" , layoutHook = myLayout , manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook xfceConfig <+> manageDocks -- uses default too , focusedBorderColor = "#2d5682" , borderWidth = 3 } Thx for any help!

Mirrored keybindings with mirrored layout
by Andreas Doll 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hello I use the ResizableTall layout and configured key bindings for resizing windows which resemble vim movements: ("M-S-j", sendMessage MirrorShrink) ("M-S-k", sendMessage MirrorExpand) ("M-S-h", sendMessage Shrink) ("M-S-l", sendMessage Expand) Now when I use a mirrored variant of this layout, the key bindings are mirrored as well - meaning that j/k change the window size horizontally and h/k vertically. Is it possible to keep the original behaviour also in the mirrored layout variant? Best regards, Andreas
