Re: [xmonad] Fwd: How to use onScreen function on startup?

Thanks, it worked. I initially thought that viewOnScreen will also focus that screen (which I did not want), but it doesn't. For the sake of my (mis)education, could you provide some info what is this windows(...) and why is it required? Maybe just a link to documentation, if possible. On 12/12/10, Adam Vogt wrote:

Hi,

Sorry to ask question out of total lack of knowledge of Haskell, but how do I use a function (in this case onScreen from XMonad.Actions.OnScreen) at xmonad startup? I's like to assign the last workspace to second screen by default, since it's really secondary in my setup (music player is there usually).

I tried putting this in main = do { ... } section: onScreen 1 "9";

First, onScreen manipulates xmonad state so it needs to be run after that has been created. So put it in the startupHook like:

main = do ... main = xmonad defaultConfig { ... -- other stuff modMask = modm, startupHook = windows (viewOnScreen 1 "9") }

I've corrected the expression as well, following the 'simpler' example given in the module documentation.

Adam
