XMonad Per Host Keybinding
by Dave Macias 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hello i've googled around to try to figure this out. I feel im very close. Im trying to add different actions to identical keybindings depending on the HOST im on. (i use my xmonad.hs file for my desktop and laptop) Here is a snippet of what i did: (start on line 101) https://gist.github.com/davama/8ec019c5ea19f1f857f37ad140abbf41 I get the error "hostname not in scope". I also have a hook which uses "hostname" and it works but cant add to keybindings. What am i missing? Thank you, Dave

The dependency being Pandoc, which is licenced "GNU General Public License version 2 or later". I attach a git patch with the appropriate changes.

Xmobar covered by window on startup screen
by Chris Bell 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi all, I've been running into an interesting problem lately. I use a very basic xmonad/xmobar setup (system info below); not much more than the sample plus some hotkeys. Recently, when I start xmonad (either with startx or MOD+q) xmobar is covered by any windows, as if I did not have manageDocks in my manageHook function. However, it only does this on the screen/desktop that is active when xmonad is (re)started. So, when I first start xmonad on a single-screen machine, workspace 1 (the default startup workspace) will show this issue, but none of the other workspaces will. I can 'fix' this by changing to workspace 9 (which I rarely use), and restarting xmonad with MOD+q. Then, on workspace 9, windows will cover xmobar, but not on 1-8. On multi-screen desktops, this occurs with ALL initial workspaces - on my 4-screen desktop, on startup, windows will cover xmobar on workspaces 1-4, but not 5-9 (until I switch to 6-9 and restart xmonad). I have been experiencing this problem for a few months now, but haven't mentioned it because the "workaround" does the job, as long as I have enough unused workspaces. I'd really like to figure out what I broke or what I need to change... System Info OS: Arch Linux (64-bit, of course) xmonad: v0.12 xmobar: v0.23.1 Xmonad configuration (xmonad.hs): http://pastebin.com/HWhCqYsi Thanks! Chris

Case insensitive WindowBringer
by Jack Bates 27 Apr '16

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

Make floating window stick to screen
by Jakob Schöttl 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Hello, I would like to have a floating window that keep staying on a certain xinerama screen rather than a certain workspace. Is it possible to implement this? Can I create a key binding to toggle 'stick to screen'. In case I have to create my own event hook impl, how can I react on workspace switching? And how can xmonad 'remember' the sticky window(s)? Thank you! Regards, Jakob -- Jakob Schöttl E-Mail: jschoett(a)gmail.com PGP-Key: 0x25055C7F

Can avoidStruts stop working?
by Tuncer Ayaz 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Does anybody else run XMonad on Arch Linux AMD64 (non-testing)? Since about a week (and a half) ago something seems to have caused avoidStruts to be ignored, because xmobar is covered by any window I open. I've tried unsuccessfully with my full config and the recently suggested new sample config here on the list[1]. Any idea what's happening? It's possibly an operator issue, but I don't know how to debug it. [1] https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2015-December/014977.html

Default Floating Window Criteria (rdesktop)
by Jason Schulz 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

I'm trying to figure out why XMonad isn't tiling rdesktop by default (and hopefully change it). Whenever I launch rdesktop, the window gets floated. I'm using the default manageHook which, looking at the source, looks like it should only float two programs by default (MPlayer, and mplayer2). The command I'm using to launch rdesktop is 'rdesktop -K -a 32 -x lan -g 1920x1080 $host$'. My xmonad.hs is posted on github if anyone wants to look at it (https://github.com/uxcn/dot-files/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs) I'm currently using version 0.12. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Jason
