defaultConfig?
by Dominik Bruhn 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hy, currently I use the following config: -- snip -- main = xmonad =<< dbruhnConfig dbruhnConfig = do return $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { ... terminal = "urxvtc", keys = \c -> mykeys c `M.union` keys defaultConfig c, ... } where mykeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $ [ .... ((modm, xK_space), scratchpadSpawnAction defaultConfig), ... ] --- snip ------ The problem now is: the scratchpadSpawnAction takes the terminal out of the config. But as I provide the default-Config (which uses xterm) instead of my own config as parameter to the action the wrong terminal gets open. What is the replacement for defaultConfig if I want to tell "this" (speaking Java) or "self" (speaking Python). I tried writing "dbruhnConfig" there but this lead into a strange haskell-error Thanks for help -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de

Screencasts wanted!
by Don Stewart 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hey guys, As you see, Devin added a videos section to the new website. ** We want some screencasts ** So if you want to record 1 .. 5 minutes of xmonad use, walking through your favorite workflows, and stick it on youtube (where you can add backing music), please do so! Let us know, and we'll add it to the website. Videos showing how xmonad makes you more productive will be very very compelling, to the unitiated. Show us how xmonad makes you into a rock star! -- Don

Problem running Xmonad
by Arnaud Bailly 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hello, I am trying to get xmonad running on my laptop (ubuntu hardy) and run into some small but annoying problems which I cannot solve browsing through the docs: - I do not have extra workspaces: mod + 1 ..9 does not work - I do not have power management: just need suspend when lid is shutdown. I tried launching gnome-power-manager with gnome-settings-daemon but this does not work, reporting failure to connect to dbus - fonts aren't antialiased on firefox (very minor, I know, but unpleasing to the eyes) I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks Arnaud

Many login sessions

Hi, When I use Ubuntu with default window management, I have an option to let some other user log, without unloging myself. Would that be possible with xmonad? Thanks, Maurício

Ratpoison key emulation
by Gwern Branwen 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Hiya everyone. So as I've long mused about, I've gotten around to seeing how difficult it'd be to do a Ratpoison style keymap for XMonad. It went reasonably well, but I've run into a number of Ratpoison commands where I can't see what to bind them to (or whether the functionality is implemented in XMC somewhere I just don't know about), so I thought I'd demonstrate what I have and see whether anyone has any suggestions. The code is as follows: {- Not implemented: C-t C-t Switch to the last window. C-t t Sometimes you need to send a C-t to the current window. This keystroke does just that. C-t A C-t C-A Rename the current window. The window's new name will prevail for the rest of its lifetime. C-t ' C-t C-' Go to a window by name. You will usually only need to type the first few characters of the window name. C-t a C-t C-a Display the current time of day. C-t : This allows you to execute a single ratpoison command. C-t i C-t C-i Display information about the current window. C-t m C-t C-m Display the last message. C-t V C-t C-V Display ratpoison's license. C-t w C-t C-w Display the list of managed windows. The current window is highlighted. C-t M-tab Switch to the last focused frame. C-t Q Kill all frames but the current one. C-t R Kill the current frame. This is a no-op if there is only one frame. C-t r C-t C-r Resize the current frame. C-t ? Display a help screen. C-t f C-t C-f select a frame by number. C-t F Indicate which frame is the current frame. C-t x C-t C-x Choose a frame and exchange the window in the current frame with the window in the chosen frame. -} -- | This list, duplicates and all is based off of -- <http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/doc/Default-Key-Bindings.html#Default Key Bindings>. ratpoisonKeys :: XConfig t -> Map (KeyMask, KeySym) (X ()) ratpoisonKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = m}) = M.fromList $ [ -- rebind standard -- actions -- this defines our root-key - mod-t ((m, xK_t), submap .
