Getting layout combinators the right way around
by Toby Cubitt 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi, I've been trying to produce a layout that works something like TwoPane/DragPane (I don't really understand the difference between these two), but with tabs for the slave windows. I.e. if there's only one window, it takes up the full screen; if there are two windows, the master window is always in the left pane, the slave on the right; if there are more than two windows, the master is on the left, one slave is displayed on the right, and there are tabs (as in e.g. simpleTabbed) showing the slave windows. I've achieved something very close to what I want using: reflectHoriz $ combineTwo (TwoPane 0.03 0.5) simpleTabbed Full I needed the reflectHoriz because with combineTwo (TwoPane 0.03 0.5) Full simpleTabbed hidden slave windows ended up in the left pane, rather than appearing as tabs in the right pane. But the (minor) annoyance with using reflectHoriz is that the focusDown/focusUp and Shrink/Expand key bindings go the opposite way to every other workspace (I use PerWorkspace layouts, so simply switching the bindings won't work). Somehow I feel I'm missing something, and it should be possible to achieve this without the reflectHoriz. Is there a better way? Thanks, Toby -- Dr T. S.

[jv@informatik.uni-bonn.de: xmonad entry for HCAR November 2009]

Can someone revise the HCAR entry? ----- Forwarded message from Janis Voigtländer <jv(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de> ----- Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:14:46 +0100 From: Janis Voigtländer <jv(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de> To: dons(a)cse.unsw.edu.au Subject: xmonad entry for HCAR November 2009 Dear Don, The xmonad entry for the Haskell Communities and Activities Report is already quite old. I had hoped for an updated entry for the upcoming edition. If you let me know, there is still a bit of time to produce a revision. For reference, below is the old entry. Best regards, Janis. \begin{hcarentry}{xmonad} \label{xmonad} \report{Don Stewart}%05/08 \status{active development} \makeheader xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximizing screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured, and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several physical screens. The new release 0.7 of xmonad added full support for the GNOME and KDE desktops, and adoption continues to grow, with binary packages of xmonad available for all major distributions. \FurtherReading \begin{compactitem} \item Homepage: \url{http://xmonad.org/} \item Darcs source: \texttt{darcs get} \url{http://code.haskell.org/xmonad} \item IRC channel: \verb+#xmonad @ irc.freenode.org+ \item Mailing list: \email{xmonad@haskell.org} \end{compactitem} \end{hcarentry} -- Jun.-Prof. Dr. Janis Voigtländer http://www.iai.uni-bonn.de/~jv/ mailto:jv@iai.uni-bonn.de ----- End forwarded message -----

[Contrib-Patch] XMonad.Actions.KeyRemap
by Christian Dietrich 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi, i had the problem that i wanted to use programmers dvorak keymapping[1] (or better said, i wanted to learn it). But for me as an emacs user it is a little bit disturbing, that my keybindings change when doing so. So i wrote a module that made it possible for me to define a keymapping, so that normal characters are translated by xmonad to programmers dvorak, and everythin that contains a modifier is left untouched. This behaviour is done by grabbing all keys by xmonad and sending appropriate Events to the focused window. It is also possible to change keymaps on the fly. Here i have the empty Mapping (here are also no keys bound by xmonad) on F1 and the dvorak Mapping on F2. greetz didi [1] http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/ PS: I hope i got the attachment right, i'm not used to gnus until now. -- No documentation is better than bad documentation -- Das Ausdrucken dieser Mail wird urheberrechtlich verfolgt.

UTF8 output from xmonad mangled
by Norbert Zeh 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi folks, I'm using xmobar as my status bar and have problems to get UTF8 characters to display correctly. I did the following tests: 1. Start xmobar, reading input from stdin. Type in some unicode characters. Xmobar displays them fine. 2. Add some unicode characters to my loghook in xmonad. Things come out garbled. 3. Instead of piping to xmobar, make xmonad write to a file. The file contents are also garbled. To be more precise, they are exactly what xmobar shows me in the second test. So this seems like the problem is on xmonad's end, not xmobar's. I'm running the latest darcs version of xmonad. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks, Norbert

[patch] Fix URI escaping in X.A.Search
by Khudyakov Alexey 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hello This patch fix URI escaping in X.A.Search. Non ASCII characters were not escaped. This patch modify escape function so it encodes as UTF8 and escapes all non-ASCII characters. This is also a workaroud for bug in System.Process which doesn't properly encode strings and just truncate Chars to 1 byte. -- Khudyakov Alexey

xmonad and conky
by Kettmann, David H 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hello all, I hope this is the right list, as I am not able to find much on my issue. I am running XMonad and I love it! I am using dzen2 for my status bar and it works just fine. I also have another dzen2 bar setup that runs conky and it does not update. My clock is static at whenever my X session starts and my cpu, memory, and disk stats do not change. I'm not sure if this is a problem with XMonad, dzen2, or conky, but I've run out of places to look. Here is the relevant portion of my xmonad.hs file. If more is needed, let me know and I can paste it. main = do -- Config starts dzen <- spawnPipe myStatusBar conkytop <- spawnPipe myTopBar conkympd <- spawnPipe myMPDBar checkTopicConfig myTopics myTopicConfig xmonad $ myUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { terminal = myTerminal , normalBorderColor = myInactiveBorderColor , focusedBorderColor = myActiveBorderColor , workspaces = myTopics , modMask = myModMask , keys = myKeys , manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ myLayoutHook , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ myDzenPP dzen } myStatusBar = "dzen2 -p -x '0' -y '0' -h '16' -w '1100' -ta 'l' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'" myTopBar = "conky -c .conkytop | dzen2 -x '1100' -y '0' -h '16' -w '340' -ta 'r' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'" myMPDBar = "conky -c .conkympd | dzen2 -x '1441' -y '0' -h '16' -w '1280' -ta 'l' -fg '" ++ myNormalFGColor ++ "' -bg '" ++ myNormalBGColor ++ "' -fn '" ++ myFont ++ "'" Thanks for the help!
