I want workspace layout to reset to some default once last window is closed. Quick glance though Xmonad-related modules names didn't give me any hints on what hook (or some other facility) to use, so I'm seeking your advice, fellow Xmonaders: how can I accomplish that?
Use XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators; you want its version of the (|||) operator so you can send the JumpToLayout message. Beyond that, you want to use a handleEventHook which matches DestroyWindowEvent and checks the contents of the current workspace; if only one window is present, send the JumpToLayout message. It should end up being something like this (untested):
import XMonad hiding (|||) import XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import Data.Monoid -- for All ... handleEventHook DestroyWindowEvent {} = n <- (length . index) `fmap` withWindowSet guard (n == 1) $ sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "name of initial layout here" return (All True)
