Cycle through all visible windows

Hi all, I’ve been trying to get XMonad set up for dual monitor, but have been struggling with finding a way to cycle focus through every window (not workspace) visible on either screen. The behavior would be similar to XMonad.Actions.WindowNavigation (the experimental module), but the cycling wouldn’t be bound to any direction, just cycle through all visible windows in the normal Alt-Tab sequence (left to right, top to bottom). I’ve found some code in a previous thread that supposedly manipulates the StackSet, but it didn’t work for me: > -- top of config > import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W > -- somewhere at top level > onAllWS f = windows $ \ws(a)W.StackSet{ W.current = c, W.visible = vs } -> > let screenNext x = W.current . f $ ws { W.current = x } > c':vs' = map screenNext (c:vs) > in ws{ W.current = c', W.visible = vs' } ... > -- in keybindings: there are much more W.swap* W.focus* and W.shift* functions to use. > ,((modm, xK_f), onAllWS W.focusDown) > ,((modm, xK_d), onAllWS W.focusUp) > ,((modm, xK_g), onAllWS W.swapMaster) Unfortunately, I’m still too terrible at Haskell to fix whatever is wrong with the above code, and haven’t found any other modules that have the functionality I want. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Alex

Not inheriting default Keybindings
by Dave Macias 20 Feb '17

Hello everyone been using xmonad for about 2 years now and it's great! something that was mention resently on another mail was something about "default keybindings being inherited or overwritten" That is actually what happens with my xmonad.hs. I have to manually code every default keybinding for them to work. It would be nice to shrink the xmonad.hs file by inheriting the default keybindings but i have no clue what to change. Im assuming my issue is in 'main' or 'defaults'. I tested mod+shift+enter which should run 'myTerminal' but it does not :( Here is a snippet of the config. Note that i pass 'hostname' down for perHost keybindings. http://pastebin.com/Msec53xJ Thank you for the assistance -dave

dual monitor

Hi all. I'm new in the mail list, and sorry for my english ... I tried to set up my wm for dual monitor with these keyboard settings: -- mod-[1..9], Switch to workspace N -- mod-shift-[1..9], Move client to workspace N -- [((m .|. mod4Mask, k), windows $ f i) | (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9] , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] ++ -- -- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3 -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3 -- [((m .|. mod4Mask, key), screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows . f)) | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e] [0..] , (f, m) <- [(W.view, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]] I exprerienced that when I switch workspace the opened windows moved the new workspace from the inactive screen. If the inactive screen is empty in the workspace where I have just moved then a window will fill it. I hope it is understandable for you. Any idea ? What is wrong ? What causes it ? Regards, Lajos
