[((m .|. mod4Mask, k), windows $ f i) | (i, k) <- zip (workspaces gnomeConfig) [xK_KP_1 .. xK_KP_9] , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]
Corrections:
- m .|. is modifier of keys m is a modifier bitmask -- 0 means nothing pressed, shiftMask means shift pressed. m .|. n is the combination of two modmasks -- in this case m .|. mod4Mask means "mod4 and m held down". Here, mod4 corresponds to W.greedyView, mod4-shift corresponds to W.shift.
- k is keysym (?) Yes. See: ~$ ghci GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude> import XMonad Prelude XMonad> :i xK_KP_1 xK_KP_1 :: KeySym -- Defined in Graphics.X11.Types If you search the internets, you'll find documentation for the Types module, including a list of all the KeySyms. (Assuming it's up to date.)
- windows is a function that activate some window - f is activation mode (?) windows is a bit of a magical function. It converts a pure StackSet mutator into an X action. In other words, f is all the business logic that says "move this window here" and so on, and windows is the dirty greasy implementation that actually interacts with X.
In this case, f is either W.greedyView or W.shift. See StackSet documentation or source code for info.
- i is window number extracted from gnome i is the window number extracted from xlib. See `xprop`, for example.
The given setting does not work. On my keyboard, 1 is over '&', so maybe I could try xK_K_AMP (or something similar) ? What Brandon said.
