Re: [xmonad] Controlling Window Location with XMonad.Layout.ThreeColumns

Definitely, Thank you very much for following up. On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 5:20 PM, Brent Yorgey wrote:

Hi Eyal,

I'm just going back through old xmonad emails trying to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Would you mind creating an issue for this at https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues ? I am not yet confident I understand what is going on here well enough to know what the right fix is, but if a ticket is created then it becomes easier for others to look at it, and it won't accidentally be forgotten. Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your response. I've spent the last few days trying to compile and run xmonad locally without much success. Would there be any chance you could make this change so that it might get into 0.13 before it gets released?

Otherwise, I'll continue to try and get xmonad to run locally.

I think I'd consider that a bug, and it's probably easy enough to fix it. This is a guess based on reading the source, so you should verify for yourself whether this changes things appropriately, but...

In XMonad.Layout.ThreeColumns.split3HorizontallyBy, swap the second two elements of the triple in the True branch, so that it reads:

then ( Rectangle (sx + fromIntegral r3w) sy r1w sh , Rectangle sx sy r3w sh , Rectangle (sx + fromIntegral r3w + fromIntegral r1w) sy r2w sh )

Hi,

I have an ultrawide monitor and so I use ThreeColumns most of the time. I create it like so:

ThreeColMid 1 (3/100) (1/3)

This works fine, however, I'm getting some strange behavior when creating an closing windows. I hope I can explain this with a small diagram which shows window location as I create and close apps:

CREATE 1 [ a ] 2 [b][ a ] 3 [a][c][b]

CLOSE 1 [a][c][b] 2 [b][ a ] 3 [ a ]

So, when going from 2 to 3 open windows, window "a" and "b" switch location for some reason. in step #2 "b" is on the left and "a" is on the right, but when a third window is added (or removed) they swap locations. This is very confusing.

Is there anyway I can cause this to stop happening? It would also be nice if window "b" was created into the active location, but that's more of a nitpick.

Thank you
