Hi, I have recently started using XMonad.Actions.Search in conjunction with XMonad.Actions.Submap and am finding it very useful. I'm not overly keen on it presenting previous search terms in the prompt though and would like to turn them off somehow. I thought the easiest way would be to use the historyFilter field in XPConfig but am not having any luck. I have tried both of these:
historyFilter = \x -> []
and
historyFilter =\[x] -> []
Code tip: you could also write '\_ -> []', or just 'const []'.
Unfortunately my history is still saved to .xmonad/history and previous search terms are presented to me the next time I search. Is there an easy way to change this behaviour in xmonad.hs or would it mean a change to XMonad.Actions.Search?
Regards,
Mike
If you look in Search, you'll see: {- | Like 'search', but for use with the output from a Prompt; it grabs the Prompt's result, passes it to a given searchEngine and opens it in a given browser. -} promptSearchBrowser ∷ XPConfig → Browser → SearchEngine → X () promptSearchBrowser config browser (SearchEngine name site) = mkXPrompt (Search name) config historyCompletion $ search browser site That is, 'config' is not asked for the history completion function nor is any filter ran upon it; rather, it uses the canned historyCompletion function from XMonad.Prompt. It's possible to grab the historyFilter from the XPConfig that promptSearchBrowser has access to; if you could test out my attached patch? -- gwern
