Make some workspaces prefer some heads
by Kai Grossjohann 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

I find that the current workspace switching model does not match my usage pattern. My usage pattern is that I tend to use the same head to view a given workspace. Is there anyone who prefers a similar working style and who could provide code to implement it? I know that you guys usually tell me that I can do it myself and that it is very easy, but this time, I am doubtful. My working style: - There should be a command to say "workspace X prefers head Y" (for example with X being the currently focused workspace and Y the currently focused head). - When switching to a workspace, display it on the preferred head. (If there is no preferred head, have some rule such as to always show it on the second head.) - There should be a way to say that I want to view workspace X on the current head, no matter what X's preferred head is. FWIW, I have a single workspace dedicated to full-screen windows (currently, Firefox, OpenOffice.org and Adobe Reader) that I display on the internal laptop display, whereas all other workspaces are usually displayed on the external display. This means that I can keep up with my favorite newsticker while waiting for compilations to finish, and watch the logs while using the web application I'm developing. However, from time to time I want to see a workspace with terminal windows and a workspace with VMware at the same time, so I either move the terminal windows workspace to the internal head, or the VMware workspace to the internal head.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #5 by andrea.rossato: as far as I understand, when unclutter hides the pointer it sends a fake EnterEvent, which makes XMonad think the mouse just entered the window. a workaround is to launch unclutter with the -grab option: unclutter -grab I keep on suggesting to get rid of the CrossingEvent stuff...;-) andrea -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #3 by chikito...(a)yahoo.es: Now I installed the darcs version and still the same problem. Btw, when typing mod-j or mod-k, focus changes a moment and quickly returns to first window (same behaviour in previous version).

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #2 by andrea.rossato: Hi, I think you should try with the darcs version (which is going to become version 0.3 I believe). Indeed I'm using it and I cannot reproduce your problem. Andrea -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 Comment #1 by chikito...(a)yahoo.es: In the second paragraph, I meant: you start xmonad, it opens a window (for example, a terminal), you open a second window, you change the layout and focus goes to the first window.

Issue 45: xmonad should be smarter about mouse movement http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=45 New issue report by chikito...(a)yahoo.es: When cursor moves to the border of the screen (say, the bottom border) and mouse is not moved again, unclutter detects that cursor is quiet and erase it, but apparently xmonad thinks that mouse is still moving and thus, when changing focus or layout, focus goes to the window where the cursor is (bottom window) and mod-j, mod-k don't work anymore. Even if I change the layout, focus is still in the same window. I have to move the cursor outside the border to get mod-j, mod-k working again. This is particularly annoying when you start xmonad, create a new window, change the layout and suddenly focus moves to the previous window and can't be changed (because cursor is on the border but you didn't realize because it is not visible). I use xmonad 0.2, didn't check darcs version.
