Hi, two more patches. I'm cleaning up the code. ciao andrea Sat Aug 4 20:30:49 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt.hs: read history lazily Instead of forcing the reading of all the history file we read it lazily.

darcs patch: XPrompt: fixes a couple of bugs (and 1 more)
by Andrea Rossato 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi, a couple of patches related to XPrompt: 2 bug fixes and some other minor stuff. ciao andrea ps: I changes my smtp relay host. Hope this solves my mailing issues. Sat Aug 4 11:08:17 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt: fixes a couple of bugs - we run the action passed to mkXPrompt only if we have a command; - updateWindows must call destroyComplWin if there are no completions; - some comments (more to come) - a shorthand in keyPressHandle - removed all warnings Sat Aug 4 11:30:49 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * MetaModule: added XPrompt and others XPrompt, XMonadPrompt, SshPrompt. ShellPrompt is commented out since it requires readline and the related xmonad.cabal modifications.

Fri Aug 3 20:53:37 CEST 2007 Karsten Schoelzel <kuser(a)gmx.de> * RotSlaves rework Rework the logic of RotSlaves and rename it RotSlavesDown, add RotSlavesUp. These rotate the slaves in different directions. Also changed the usage, eliminating the need for "windows" in the keybinding.

xmonad docs and a xprompt screenshot
by Andrea Rossato 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi, I updated the XMonad documentation, after cleaning up a bit the document generation. You can have a look at it here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonad/ There's also a screen shot of the new prompt available here, featuring xmobar at the top and XMonadPrompt with the default configuration at the bottom, while I'm browsing the completions for the viewN internal commands: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonadXPrompt.png All the best, Andrea

a few questions
by Michael Vanier 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

I've been playing around with xmonad 0.2, and so far it's been pretty pleasant. I have a few questions. I'm running xmonad in wide mode exclusively, since my laptop screen is fairly small. First, when I run emacs, it initially comes up in non-fullscreen mode (basically, it uses the default dimensions I set in my .Xresources file, which don't quite fill the screen). When I cycle through other windows and come back to emacs the WM resizes it correctly. I'm wondering why it doesn't do so right away. Is this a bug? Second, I was wondering if there is a way to display the current workspace number and/or window title in a dzen status bar. Third, is it possible to swap workspaces i.e. change workspace 2 to 1 and vice-versa? Thanks for all your help, Mike

initialization when running xmonad using xnest
by Michael Vanier 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I'm not ready to switch to using xmonad 100% of the time yet, so for the time being I'm running it using xnest. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to get xmonad (or xnest) to read an initialization file (e.g. a .xinitrc file) in these circumstances. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Mike

darcs patch (to download): XPrompt: we have completions and history!
by Andrea Rossato 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, it seems that I still have problem sending patches. Probably it is too big, so please get it from here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xpromptCompletion.patch With this patch we are almost there: now completions and history work as expected, or at least I hope. Please try it and report problems. If the completion list doesn't fit in the screen, the list will not be scrollable (whós going to scroll so many entries, BTW??). While I would like not to change the API, the configuration can still be modified. To configure your prompts use field labels. That should protect you from major refactoring. Es: myconfig = defaultXPConfig {bgColor = "red" } Hope you'll enjoy. Andrea

Rotate window Stack
by Hans Philipp Annen 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hello List, I just recently found out about xmonad and I am addicted already :) Thanks for this great window manager. I have written a function that will rotate all windows in the stack except the master, while leaving the focus where it is. I use it with the TwoPane layout: In this layout, the first window after the master window will be raised whenever the master gets the focus, which I found annoying. If that window has the focus, and you use my rotateSlaves function to change to another window, this window will still be visible when you change the focus to the master window. It is also nice to be able to change the window visible in the second pane without loosing focus in the master window. I was not sure whether I should put this in XMonadContrib, since I think it's a candidate for Operations.hs. Anyway, here is the function: rotSlaves :: SS.StackSet i a s sd -> SS.StackSet i a s sd rotSlaves = SS.modify' rotSlaves' rotSlaves' :: SS.Stack a -> SS.Stack a rotSlaves' (SS.Stack t ls rs) | (null ls) = SS.Stack t [] ((rearRs)++(frontRs)) --Master has focus | otherwise = SS.Stack t' (reverse ((master)++revls')) rs' --otherwise where (frontRs, rearRs) = splitAt (max 0 ((length rs) - 1) rs (ils, master) = splitAt (max 0 ((length ls) - 1) ls toBeRotated = (reverse ils)++(t:rs) (revls',t':rs') = splitAt (length ils) ((last toBeRotated):(init toBeRotated)) a keybinding looks like: , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Tab ), windows rotSlaves) I hope someone else will find that usefull...
