Hy, I recently found the Scratchpad on the Mailinglist (thanks, Braden for this). But, im missing two features: 1. Is it possible to hide the scratchpad (not close, only hide) with the same hotkey? So if I press the Hotkey once the scratchpad apears and another hit it disapears and I can recall it with the same hotkey. 2. Can the scratchpad made visible on all workspaces? So if I switch my workspace it stays visilbe and I can recall (with 1.) the same scratchpad everywhere?

The reason for this is: I want to start a musicplayer (mocp or something like this) in the scratchpad and want to view it on every workspace im on.

This is orthagonal to your original question, but as a suggestion for music players and xmonad, I use mpd and have key bindings that control it through mpc. I use one key for pause and another for volume control. Finally I have included pertinent parts of the mpc output in my xmobar. It's all pretty simple and make a very nice simple music setup.

Agree :)

Also I've written a small extension for prompting song name, but I was going to push it after xmonad get locale support.

However, if you need it and don't deal with non-Latin song names, I can push it earlier...

I made a little script long time ago to play a song by inputting part of its name: mpc play `mpc playlist | grep -i $1 | tr -d \# | head -n 1 | awk -F\) '{print $1}'` Might find it useful as well.. Adrien
