Universal argument a lá Emacs for Xmonad
by Ruben Astudillo 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

Dear all On Emacs you can pass certain functions an interactive argument via the C-u chord. For example you can press C-u 5 C-n to move 5 lines down the buffer. Sometimes I've wanted this functionality on XMonad, for example to be able to do stuff like `C-u 3 modm-m` to move to the third window counted from the main window if it exists. I wonder if somebody know if that's implemented as a module. -- -- Ruben -- PGP: 4EE9 28F7 932E F4AD

spawnOn in startupHook only works for one Nemo window, not the other
by Adam Sjøgren 02 Nov '19

Hi, I'm using spawnOn in my startupHook to open various programs on various virtual desktops when logging in - it's quite nice to have that happen automatically. I start two instances of the Nautilus (file manager) fork Nemo: spawnOn "7" "nemo ~/video/" spawnOn "7" "nemo ~/video/tablet/" But only one of them ends up on desktop 7. The one other is placed on the current desktop. I have tried adding a "sleep 2;" to one of them, to see if it was some timing thing, but the same thing happens. I have also tried to combine them, and have one line starting "nemo ~/video/" nemo ~/video/tablet/", same thing. Oh, and as I am typing this, I realize that the second invocation probably doesn't start a lasting separate process, but messages the first to open a new window, and that original process then opens it, might be why spawnOn seems to "not work". Maybe I should just use manageSpawn to have all Nemo windows end up on desktop 7. I guess I have rubber ducked myself into the answer, but any comments are welcome regardless.
