Misleading documentation for XMonad.Actions.Search
by Mats Rauhala 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

The documentation for (!>) in XMonad.Actions.Search is misleading. The documentation says "> multiEngine = intelligent (wikipedia !> mathworld !> (prefixAware google))", but this syntax doesn't provide the expected behaviour. See *XMonad.Actions.Search> use (wikipedia !> hoogle !> prefixAware google) "hoogle:foo" "http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=hoogle%3Afoo" compared to: *XMonad.Actions.Search> use (wikipedia !> (hoogle !> (prefixAware google))) "hoogle:foo" "http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?q=foo" I propose changing the documentation from <snip>"intelligent (wikipedia !> mathworld !> (prefixAware google))"</snip> to <snip>"intelligent (wikipedia !> (mathworld !> (prefixAware google)))"</snip>

XMonad.Prompt.File (attached)
by John J Foerch 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello, I had need in my config for a filename prompt. XMonad-Contrib contains XMonad.Prompt.Directory, so I just copied it and made the appropriate substitutions to make XMonad.Prompt.File. It would be great if this could be added to xmonad-contrib so it will be there for the next person who needs this functionality. -- John Foerch

More restricted version of XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer
by Weeble 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Right now I use updatePointer to move the pointer to the focused window. The main scenario where I want this is when I'm switching between windows with the keyboard and then decide to use the mouse for something - it can then be surprising that the mouse pointer is in a window without keyboard focus and that I need to move it out and back in again to get it back. However, there are various situations where it triggers when I don't want it, especially with applications that try to be clever with lots of small floating windows. I would quite like to restrict it only to trigger when I issue a MOD+J or MOD+K command to xmonad. Is that possible? Perhaps I can just rebind those keys in some way to roll in the pointer moving behaviour, and not bother with updatePointer?

float above a float?
by Sean Allen 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

On with my eclipse saga. Actually going pretty well thanks to help from here and reading various configs on the xmonad site. I have a number of detached windows from eclipse that i float. Is there a way when transient windows get popped up to have them be the top floating window of all floating windows? Right now, they are often partially obscured by other floating windows. If not, I suppose I will move on to seeing if instead of floating the detached windows if I can lay them out in a specific layout on open. thanks, sean

manageHook question
by Victor Gaydov 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello. Could someone give me an example of manageHook that will tile window if it's width is more that some constant and float it otherwise? And another question, is it possible to send window to specific subLayout from manageHook? Thanks. -- Victor.

Issue 435 in xmonad: no longer possible to bind actions to mod2Mask + key
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 435 by pluni...(a)gmail.com: no longer possible to bind actions to mod2Mask + key http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=435 It no longer seems possible to bind an action to mod2Mask + any key, or to configure xmonad to treat a key differently depending on whether the NumLock modifier is on. I believe this issue may be related to issue #120. Note that the template xmonad.hs as of 0.9.1 said the following, noting that the ability "to treat numlock status separately" was a feature, and I agree that users should be able to do so if they choose: -- Set numlockMask = 0 if you don't have a numlock key, or want to treat -- numlock status separately. To reproduce (modified from xmonad.hs template): myNumlockMask = 0 -- ... (in keys) , ((mod2Mask .|. mod4Mask, xK_KP_Home), spawn "exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && eval \"exec $exe\"") , ((mod4Mask, xK_KP_Home), spawn "gmrun") -- ... 0.9.1 behavior (0.9.1-2build2 on Ubuntu 10.10): NumLock off: Pressing mod4-KP_Home runs gmrun NumLock on : Pressing mod4-KP_7 runs dmenu, as expected. darcs behavior: NumLock off: Pressing mod4-KP_Home runs gmrun NumLock on : Pressing mod4-KP_7 runs gmrun, not dmenu. The user with the above config would expect dmenu.

GenerateManpage.hs doesn't work on Maverick
by Karl Ljungkvist 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi, I'm trying to make a developement package of xmonad for ubuntu. When I run runhaskell GenerateManpage.hs under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), I get the following error: GenerateManpage.hs: user error (Pattern match failure in do expression at util/GenerateManpage.hs:79:4-17) The following package versions are installed: libghc6-pandoc-dev 1.5.1.1-5build1 libghc6-regex-base-dev 0.93.1-8 libghc6-regex-posix-dev 0.94.1-2 I've tried running it under Ubuntu 10.04, and there it works. There, these version are installed: libghc6-regex-base-dev 0.93.1-6 libghc6-regex-posix-dev 0.93.2-5 libghc6-pandoc-dev 1.5.1.1-3ubuntu1 It also works under up-to-date Arch Linux with these versions: haskell-pandoc 1.8.1.1-1 haskell-regex-base 0.93.2-1.1 haskell-regex-posix 0.94.2-1 I can't really see what in GenerateManpage.hs is so sensitive to these versions. It might of course be related to something completely different. Can someone help me out here? Regards, Karl Ljungkvist

multiple window apps
by Sean Allen 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

In my case, the multiple window app is Eclipse. I have a dual monitor setup with each screen having its own set of workspaces. Eclipse being what it is, I want to be able to pull some of its tabs out into their own windows on the 'secondary' monitor. I can do that but when I quit eclipse and start it back up, everything opens on 1 monitor with the main eclipse window opening behind the others that are floating ( I assume they get marked as transient or something like that... ) Are there any blog posts, modules, example configs out there that I can take a look at to figure out how to get this setup working on application launch? Any other advice is appreciated as well. In case it helps, here is my current xmonad.hs: https://github.com/SeanTAllen/dotxmonad/blob/master/xmonad.hs

Mod-P blanks screen (XMonad.Config.Gnome)
by Max Rabkin 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Hi I'm using XMonad.Config.Gnome (at least, its keybindings) under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), through gnome (with XMonad set as my window manager). My xmonad.hs is copied from another machine, which is running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), where it works fine. Instead of opening the "run application" dialog, pressing mod-p (mod = left super) blanks the screen for about a second. When it comes back on, there is still no dialog. Has anybody else encountered this, or know a solution? --Max
