I'm not sure if I got you right here. Maybe you could elaborate on what you mean by shiftMaster being raiseWindow. I think the additional Stack Window parameter in the layout is also what Brandon suggested.
No; I suggested a new *function*, type Maybe Stack -> [Window] -> X (), which does the raiseWindow or sets stacking order or etc. aavogt proposes to keep forcing the z-order globally but provide a way to specify an alternative order; this strikes me as asking for trouble unless one is careful to keep both Stacks in sync.
So far, from my understanding it would be futile to change the stacking order in the layout or in a stackset operation because that would then be overwritten by the restackWindows call in windows.
Which is why I'm proposing to remove that call and make it instead a function in the layout, which can be overridden with an alternative.
on top of runLayout, so things start to get messy ({?,run,do,pure}Layout). But it would be easy and quick to implement.
Actually, it's almost completely independent of those; no existing layout or layout modifier would need to deal with it at all, unless someone wants to add that functionality (the existing contrib hook to try to keep floating windows with their owners comes to mind). Although, this does make me think that while it's *related* to layout, it's independent of it to the extent that it has very little to do with the normal places where layoutHook is run, so maybe it belongs directly in XConfig instead. (Alternately, get XMonad.Operations.windows out of the stacking business entirely and put it with the rest of the layout. It probably belongs there instead of X.O.windows anyway, and in fact we may already have it being done in some/all? cases as is; and any situation which requires X.O.windows to restack windows also requires it to rerun the layout.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
