Looking for "runOrKill" function
by Sepp Tannhuber 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

My `additionalKeys` section of xmonad.hs has this key binding: ((mod3Mask, xK_d), raiseMaybe (runInTerm "-title calendar -hold -geometry 105x12+0+25" "task calendar") (title =? "calendar")) I would like to replace the raiseMaybe by something like runOrKill. This means, it should run the terminal with title "calendar" if it's not yet running. Otherwise it should kill the terminal. How can I do that? Is it possible at all?

Re: [xmonad] Patch to add new Layout message
by Devin Mullins 25 Sep '14

Don't forget to reply-all. I was going to generate one for you, but code.haskell.org is done, making it difficult. Some other notes I probably should have mentioned last time: 1. I don't have commit rights to xmonad, so I can't approve. 2. Generally, the community is more conservative about xmonad core - especially adding new features. When something can be done in contrib instead, it usually is. 3. And yeah, if you get a chance to install darcs and `darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad` and `darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib`, you'll make comitters' lives easier. Otherwise, looks reasonable. I, too, fall into the same bucket of either 1 or 2 master panes.

Announcing XMonad.Config.Prime
by Devin Mullins 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

<shameless-plug> I've pushed XMonad.Config.Prime, which I worked on a long time ago, and decided to clean up and release now. You can check out an example config at: http://twifkak.com/xmonad-junk/XMonad-Config-Prime4.html#g:9 I've been using the syntax for quite a while. Now you can, too! I tried to document it decently. I also switched my mailing list subscription to an email I will check more often. Per previous feedback, the code doesn't introduce any dependencies (other than a slew of LANGUAGE pragmas, but notably not TemplateHaskell). The main remaining task would be to get (>>) to work with both Prime and Monad. I got a lead from a mailing list that I may be able to follow, but in the meantime, I figure such a change would be backwards-compatible, and hence non-blocking. - Devin (twifkak) [1] I tried to `darcs send` it earlier, but my email got eaten, and I got impatient and just pushed. No offense taken if you need to rollback.

trigger xmonad commands with shell script
by Sepp Tannhuber 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear all, I would like to raise a certain window from within a shell script. Is it possible to trigger xmonad to execute something like raiseMaybe (runInTerm "-title myWindow" "myWindow") (title =? "myWindow") with a shell script? Or do you know any other possibility to raise a window from a shell?

xmonad --recompile stopped working here this week and fails with scope errors in stuff from xmonadcontrib. Anyone else see this?

Issue 568 in xmonad: Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups viewWSGroup changes which workspace has focus incorrectly
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 13 Sep '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 568 by nwfila...(a)gmail.com: Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups viewWSGroup changes which workspace has focus incorrectly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=568 When running viewWSGroup, the focus is set to whichever display is last in the windowset's visible set. It would be better, IMHO, if focus were considered part of the WSGroup. Simply reversing the list of workspaces should mean that the last greedyView serves to restore focus to the workspace (and screen) focused-at-group-creation-time. --- old-XMonadContrib/XMonad/Actions/DynamicWorkspaceGroups.hs 2014-05-06 20:26:25.919864085 -0400 +++ new-XMonadContrib/XMonad/Actions/DynamicWorkspaceGroups.hs 2014-05-06 20:26:26.163865644 -0400 @@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ -- | Give a name to the current workspace group. addCurrentWSGroup :: WSGroupId -> X () addCurrentWSGroup name = withWindowSet $ \w -> - addWSGroup name $ map (W.tag .

Note that this has no effect on the workspaces involved; A different, equally-defensible behavior, would be to consider the focus to not be part of the WSGroup and to hold the current focus across the viewWSGroup operation.

update: chromium slow redraw
by Carsten Mattner 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Due to my local xmonad --recompile breakage I had to fall back to dwm and was surprised to see that the very slow non-floating Chromium window redraw evident in XMonad since Chromium switched to Aura does NOT happen in dwm. Any idea what's different in the dwm X11 code that doesn't make Chromium window (content) redraws super visible (slow)?

What happened to ScreenWorkspaces?
by Mike Sullivan 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Does anybody know what happened to the ScreenWorkspaces module, mentioned briefly here? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/7223 It sounds useful, as it seems like it would extend Xmonad.Layout.IndependentScreens to also allow for a more polished experience (notably, perhaps it would fix CycleWS behavior as discussed at http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-December/009466.html) Also, it would allow for a more Gnome-like multi-head experience (as mentioned at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/7774) Mike

Leak... somewhere... I periodically restart xmonad to recover gobs of swap space
by Michael Witten 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Software: xmonad 0.11 xmobar 0.10 Xorg 1.14.1 After a while (say, a month) of normal activity, my swap space becomes almost entirely eaten up; the problem can be solved by restarting xmonad (`mod-q'). The problem could well be `xmobar' or `X' itself.
