The extension XMonad.Prompt.Window allows you to enter a window name (with completion), then teleports you to that window. So this extension already does what you need: get a list of windows, find the right one. Kai Joseph Garvin wrote:
I'm a former sawfish user, and I used to have this really awesome keyboard shortcut called "jump-or-exec". I would press for example Super+F, and if Firefox was not running, it would be executed, and if it was already running, then it would be given focus. I had similar shortcuts for emacs, terminals, etc.
I'm a bit of a haskell newb -- I can tell that I can simply use 'spawn' to launch a process, and if I had a list of current windows I would know how to iterate through them and find out whether one currently exists, but I don't know how to get such a list. Ideally I'd like to be able to match against window title or class. Is there a way to do this with xmonad? ------------------------------------------------------------------------
