I'm working with xmonad for a while. Don't know what I pressed, but suddenly I have my home directory files and folders, as icons, on my desktop. 1. I like it. 2. how to reproduce on my other machines? thanks, Ran.

Re: Issue 254 in xmonad: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal"

Comment #6 on issue 254 by klu...(a)gmail.com: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal" http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=254 I wrote a routine to double-quote and escape shell input, and it _seems_ to work for me. I've added it to Prompt.Ssh instead of changing runInTerm, but it logically belongs there. That is, I call ssh s = runInTerm "" (bashDblQuote ("ssh " ++ s)) where bashDblQuote is the quoting function. Attachments: dblquote.hs 866 bytes OtherSsh.hs 3.4 KB

Dealing with large amounts of pages in a common web browser
by Troels Henriksen 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I have been using xmonad for some years now, and all throughout, the browser I have been using has been a private fork of surf[0], which is essentially just a Webkit webview in a window by itself. However, I would like to switch to a more widely used browser (Chrome, Firefox, Conkeror, whatever) for usability and security reasons. The nice thing about surf is that it opens a window per page, which means that they are all visible to xmonad, and navigable through things like GridSelect, which would not be the case if I simply had two dozen tabs open in Firefox. However, sometimes tabs are nice - specifically, it's practical to use CTRL-clicking to open new pages in the background. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Some combination of Firefox hacks and xmonad layouts? How do you set up your browsers? [0]: http://surf.suckless.org/ -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen

[xmonad-contrib] Support BEPO keyboard layout

Hi everyone, Sorry for not sending proper darcs patch but, I can't setup a monad-contrib dev setup without screwing my xmonad 0.11 configuration (got into cabal hell situation). So I attach the code with that email. Thanks for your time. Yorick

Issue 590 in xmonad: different azerty layouts
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 590 by bert.mo...(a)gmail.com: different azerty layouts https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=590 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Switch to Belgian keyboard layout 2. Add azertyconfig to xmonad.hs as described in docs 3. Try switching to workspace 6 or 8 What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to switch to workspace 6 or 8 respectively, but nothing happens. Switching to other workspaces works fine. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-0.11 xmonad-contrib-0.11.3 Debian 8 The issue are the keymappings in XMonad/Config/Azerty.hs. The Belgian keyboard layout seems to need different codes for certain keys. My workaround Copy the source from Azerty.hs to the appropriate places in xmonad.hs. Replace the keymappings in function azertykeys: [0x26,0xe9,0x22,0x27,0x28,0x2d,0xe8,0x5f,0xe7,0xe0] by [ xK_ampersand , xK_eacute , xK_quotedbl , xK_apostrophe , xK_parenleft , xK_section -- 6 0xa7 , xK_egrave , xK_exclam -- 8 0x21 , xK_ccedilla , xK_agrave , xK_parenright ] Proposed solution 1. Replace the original key names like 0x26 by their more readable name like xK_ampersand (6 and 8 still need to be matched for the original azerty layout) 2. Add the variant for the belgian keyboard layout (and maybe others) to the documentation of Azerty.hs. Alternative solution 1 Add a module for the belgian keyboard layout: e.g. AzertyBe.hs Alternative solution 2 Actually the best solution in my opinion. Provide an easy, well-documented way to convert keymappings to other keyboard layouts, so the original keystrokes are preserved. The xmonad cheat sheet would stay valid, just with other symbols on the keys. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? xmonad restarts and reruns my configuration startups etc. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? darcs up to date version 0.12 on Ubuntu 14.04. Logging directly into xmonad from the dm. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No output. Compiles without errors. Please provide any additional information below. If I exit to the dm and log back in, xmonad restarts without any problems. It is only when I try to restart the running xmonad session that it seems to fail.

Walking Fullscreen Windows
by Chris Bell 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi all, I've noticed an interesting issue with some Fullscreen windows when using SmartBorders. I apologize in advance if this has been addressed - I couldn't find anything, but I'm not sure I was asking Google right. I am using the current release of Xmonad with SmartBorders. When I am running an application fullscreen, SmartBorders removes the borders, as it should. However, every time the window gains or loses focus, the window will grow by a pixel or two. Specifically, the lower right corner will extend down and to the right. All UI elements in the window follow accordingly. Specific example: Using Chrome to watch fullscreen HTML5 video (Netflix). Every time the window gets/loses focus, the UI elements will walk a pixel down, and extend a pixel right, like it's scaling to a resized window. When focus changes again, it again creeps. Eventually the window is far larger than the actual screen. When I leave/re-enter fullscreen, the size is initially correct. Then it starts growing again as I interact. Chrome has handled this admirably - the video simply scales up a couple pixels to compensate. Fullscreen (OpenGL) games, on the other hand, totally freak out. The graphics won't scale, instead a border of corrupt pixels slowly grows around the image; the new pixel rows/columns are filled with random data. I run 3 monitors, and if this happens on the left or center monitors, the windows start overlapping the screen to the right. It almost seems as if the window is getting hints from Xmonad that don't quite correspond to the actual dims, and it keeps compensating. The other idea is that SmartBorders is trying to cover up a border that it thinks exists, but really doesn't. Either way, I'm not quite sure where to start debugging. There's one glaring exception: I have defined a window hook to force VLC to go FullScreenFloat when FullScreen is detected (since VLC fullscreen didn't work out of the box). VLC's window *doesn't* creep like Chrome or any of the others do. Has anyone else seen this? Any fixes/debug suggestions? I'm really hoping I just screwed up something simple. Thanks!
