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.

Fwd: 'resetScreenSaver' from 'Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc'

Walking Fullscreen Windows
by Chris Bell 20 Jan '15

20 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!

announce: xmonad-entryhelper
by Javran Cheng 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

xmonad-entryhelper <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-entryhelper> This package is for those who loves to keep things in sandboxes. After suffering from dependency hell several times, I find it really helps to minimize system level packages and keep other packages either in user level or in sandboxes. I was able to remove xmonad from system packages, and have ~/.xinitrc to call my compiled xmonad config. But soon I realized, different from xmonad itself, the compiled config cannot do some fancy stuff like up-to-date checking, recompilation & send xmonad restart requests. Therefore I wrote this package to wrap the main function to deal with xmonad arguments like --recompile and --restart. This makes the compiled binary behave like xmonad binary itself. Additionally with this package you will be able to customize recompiling action: for example you can use Makefile to manage your xmonad config and set environment variable $XMONAD_HOME to your xmonad path. Then you can make your "xmonad --recompile" call shell command "cd ${XMONAD_HOME} && make all" to do the job. Hope you like this package! -- Javran (Fang) Cheng

darcs patch: Layout.Spacing: Outer window edges now get as much spa...
by felixc＠felixcrux.com 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hello XMonad contributors! I've attached here my first patch to XMonadContrib; specifically to the Layout.Spacing component. This change makes it so that all edges of all windows have the same amount of space around them, regardless of whether they're up against the edge of the screen. This matches my personal preference, but I don't know whether the original behaviour was by design or if this style of spacing was already considered and rejected. I'd welcome any discussion on the pros and cons of doing things this way, as well as finding out whether anyone objects to this change. At the end of the day it's up to you whether this patch should be included. Thank you to geekosaur and fizzie in #xmonad for their help with the tricky question of determining whether a Workspace has just one window on it, for the smartSpacing part. All the best, Felix 1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Thu Dec 18 20:47:34 EST 2014 Felix Crux <felixc(a)felixcrux.com> * Layout.Spacing: Outer window edges now get as much spacing as inner ones Layout.Spacing applies a customizable amount of space around the outside of each window. At window edges where two windows meet, the total distance between them is therefore twice the customized value (one space value from each window). At the edge of the screen, however, the spacing is only applied once. This results in uneven amounts of spacing and differently-sized gaps on the screen. This patch extends the Spacing layout to include a further gap all around the edge of the screen, thus making all spaces around windows equal in size.

Integrated screen lock in xmonad?
by Erik de Castro Lopo 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hi all, I'm currently using gnome-screensaver to lock my xmonad sessions, but I was wondering if anyone had put together anything like a an integrated lock screen as a replacement. The reason I want this is that I'd like to extend my lock screen with sound volume and audio pause/play buttons and I *do not want* to try hacking on either gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver. If no one has done it, a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated. Cheers, Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
