Some windows appear on the wrong head
by Kai Grossjohann 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Say my focus is on the second head. I start Eclipse. It shows a splash window on the current head (the second one). Then it pops up a workspace chooser window, but that window appears on the first head! (Even though focus is still on the second head, on the Eclipse splash window, in fact.) Ideas? Kai

Switching focus without pulling hidden windows into the foreground
by Tassilo Horn 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi, I often have this scenario: - one editor window - one shell window >From the shell window I open a file in a third window, check some things and make notes in the editor. To have no space occupied by the shell I use the TwoPane layout then. (The editor as master, the file viewer as the only visible slave.) The problem with it is that if I switch from editor to the viewer or vice versa the non-master window gets replaced by the shell window first, so that I need to focusDown several times. Is it possible to switch focus only between visible windows without pulling hidden ones into the foreground? Bye, Tassilo

what about a prompt?
by Andrea Rossato 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi, what about a prompt? A general one, to be use to run internal xmonad command, to run shell commands, or to run ssh, etc... With completions, possibly. This what I'm working to. Some previous Ion3 users will find it similar to some of their memories. It is not finished yet, this is why I'm not sending it as a patch, but I'm almost there. I did not think it was going to take such a long time - 3 days now (well, I'm not only coding, I'm also trying to enjoy my vacation. Lake, mountains, etc....-) But you can have an idea, and hopefully give suggestions too: save the attached file in XMonadContrib as Prompt.hs. Import it from Config.hs and add some key bindings to lunch the prompts. For instance: , ((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_x), xmonadPrompt defaultPromptConfig) , ((modMask .|. controlMask.|. shiftMask, xK_x), shellPrompt defaultPromptConfig) So far only a shell prompt and an internal commands prompt (xmonadPrompt) are provided (and only the first one with - still unusable - completions). Suggestions, patches, good wishes are welcome. Andrea PS: the guys at suckless dot something say that dmenu is less then 500 lines of code. I'm still below 500 too, with all the extra features. Some stuff needs to be added, but there is a lot of stuff we could get rid of. The code could not be so verbose, but that's one of my problems. Not Haskell's.

Lots of material appeared this week about xmonad: * Simon Peyton-Jones' "A Taste of Haskell Tutorial", uses xmonad to introduce Haskell programming: Video Part 1 http://blip.tv/file/324976 http://s5.video.blip.tv/0560000629508/OSCON-OSCON2007SimonPeytonJonesATaste… Part 2 http://blip.tv/file/325646 http://s5.video.blip.tv/0560000629508/OSCON-OSCON2007SimonPeytonJonesATaste… Slides http://conferences.oreillynet.com/presentations/os2007/os_peytonjones.pdf * The second item is the overview of xmonad for the Haskell Workshop, coming up in September. I'll be in Freiburg, Germany for this, as well as the Haskell Hackathon: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/SJ07.html * And the haskell hackathon, ( which I'm helping organise ) http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_2007_II Happy hacking everyone :) -- Don
