Hi, I was trying to replicate dwm status bar and I realised it was not possible: there's no way to differentiate between a focused workspace which contain windows and one that doesn't. Cheers, -- Bastien

Try using <XF86TouchpadToggle> in additionalKeysP. 2. Compiles without error. 3. Press <XF86TouchpadToggle>. Nothing happens. There should either be an error saying the key isn't defined, or preferably, the key should be supported. The scancode for XF86TouchpadToggle is 199. Component-Contrib

Issue 475 in xmonad: [xmonad-contrib] removeKeys function bug
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 475 by Crash...(a)gmail.com: [xmonad-contrib] removeKeys function bug http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=475 Initially reported under Arch Linux as a bug in the package maintained there: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25964 Description: The removeKeys function in XMonad.Util.EZConfig only operates on the first element in the list. There is an existing fix for this bug on github that can be applied: https://github.com/bogner/xmonadcontrib/commit/81dd78145cfaa0a8484d96649f05… An example with a workaround is provided below. Additional info: * package version(s) local/xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-2.1 * config and/or log files etc. .xmonad/xmonad.hs: import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe) import XMonad.Util.EZConfig import XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation import System.IO main = do xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar" xmonad $ defaultConfig { manageHook = manageDocks <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ windowNavigation $ layoutHook defaultConfig , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50 } , modMask = mod4Mask , borderWidth = 2 , terminal = "urxvt" , normalBorderColor = "#333333" , focusedBorderColor = "#FFAA00" } -- Remove bindings to keys so they can be reassigned -- -- NOTE: There is a bug in removeKeys that makes it act like what -- you would expect from a function called removeKey (i.e. it only -- operates on the first element in a list). Therefore, it is -- currently being called for each keymapping that needs to be -- unbound. Once the bug fix has been pulled into the current -- xmonad-contrib package the code commented below can replace the -- repeated calls below: -- --`removeKeys` --[ (i, j) | i <- [mod4Mask, mod4Mask .|. shiftMask], -- j <- [xK_h, xK_j, xK_k, xK_l] --] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_h) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_j) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_k) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_l) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_h) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_j) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_k) ] `removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_l) ] --`additionalKeys` -- Add bindings for moving windows within a workspace --[ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_h), sendMessage $ Swap L) --, ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_j), sendMessage $ Swap D) --, ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_k), sendMessage $ Swap U) --, ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_l), sendMessage $ Swap R) --, ((mod4Mask, xK_h), sendMessage $ Go L) --, ((mod4Mask, xK_j), sendMessage $ Go D) --, ((mod4Mask, xK_k), sendMessage $ Go U) --, ((mod4Mask, xK_l), sendMessage $ Go R) --] Steps to reproduce: Start xmonad using the provided xmonad.hs (Make sure that the xmonad.hs file has been compiled with xmonad --recompile). Open multiple windows (e.g. a terminal and 2 firefox windows). Attempt to use any of the key bindings that have been removed using removeKeys function. None should work. Change the xmonad.hs file above to use the commented out removeKeys code and comment out the existing removeKeys code: `removeKeys` [ (i, j) | i <- [mod4Mask, mod4Mask .|. shiftMask], j <- [xK_h, xK_j, xK_k, xK_l] ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_h) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_j) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_k) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask, xK_l) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_h) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_j) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_k) ] --`removeKeys` [ (mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_l) ] Run xmonad --recompile Hit your mod4 key + q to reload Try to use the keybindings removed. Only mod4 + h will not work because it is the first list element. (Note that mod-shift-h and mod-shift-l are not by default bound to anything and these removeKey commands are extraneous).

Issue 477 in xmonad: report missing GHC
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Sep '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 477 by daniel.w...(a)gmail.com: report missing GHC http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=477 Reported on behalf of plat0 from #xmonad: Severity: wishlist (I suppose) If ghc is not installed and I press Alt-Q to recompile and restart I get the error: "Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/tom/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Please check the file for errors." This is rather unhelpful since it doesn't actually highlight the true cause, and had me scratching me head for quite a while.

keyboard layout change
by G. Nikiforov 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hello, I have a question regarding setting a shortcut for changing the keyboard layout in Xmonad. In Gnome there is a graphical utility for this and in FVWM I've done this by using the setxkbmap command in the .fvwmrc file. First using the setxkbmap command from the command line works, however one of the layouts that I'm using is Cyrillic, so once I'm in it, there's no way I can go back to a Latin keyboard layout. So I looked up the following website: http://www.xfree86.org/current/XKB-Config2.html#5 and following the advice there created a custom-kbl.conf file in the xorg.conf.d directory. However when I restarted X, all that did was make both my mouse and keyboard inoperational, so I had to reboot using LiveCD and delete the xorg.conf.d directory which I had created. Any idea what I should do? Btw, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and had installed xmonad via the synaptic package manager. Thanks a lot in advance.

From dwm to xmonad
by Bastien Dejean 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, I'm a dwm user in the process of migrating to xmonad and I stumbled upon a few obstacles: I would like to apply layouts directly without having to cycle through all the existing layouts. The following tentative: , ((modm, xK_f ), setLayout $ Layout Full) is not entirely satisfying: I don't know how to apply smartBorders and I'd like the NextLayout message to continue to work : so I guess it would be better to jump to an element of the layout list... ? There's a NextLayout message, but no PreviousLayout one, why? Is there a way to handle the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property so that xdotool windowactivate foo activate the tag where foo lives, gives focus to foo and make it the master? I can't go fullscreen with zathura or sxiv (but I can with mplayer)... Concerning sxiv the binding which should trigger fullscreen has absolutely no effects. I only have the following user status setup in dwm: xsetroot -name "$( date +%H:%M )" How can I achieve the same effect in xmonad with dzen2? Cheers, -- Bastien
