Mon Jan 7 11:17:16 EST 2008 gwern0@gmail.com * Config.hs: rm "Toggle the status bar gap" binding Per my discussion with Roundy in the thread '[xmonad] automatically generating template xmonad.hs if it doesn't exist'. Not very useful: " I'm not too sure about this one. If you're using an uncustomized totally standard XMonad, are you also going to be using a status bar? More to the point, would you be using a statusbar *and* also be wanting to toggle on/off the status bar? (Which is what this does if I understand it.)"
It is true that mod-b is a no-op in the default configuration. However, once a user sets some status gaps, they'll immediately want to use this feature. Requiring the user to copy this keybinding makes configuration needlessly difficult.
+1 from me.
Mon Jan 7 11:19:36 EST 2008 gwern0@gmail.com * Config.hs: rm dmenu and gmrun default bindings See previous patch: "I'm not too sure about this one. If you're using an uncustomized totally standard XMonad, are you also going to be using a status bar? More to the point, would you be using a statusbar *and* also be wanting to toggle on/off the status bar? (Which is what this does if I understand it.)"
The dmenu binding will stay -- users must be able to launch programs out of the box. Perhaps we can remove the gmrun binding, does anyone actually use it?
I'd be happy to see gmrun gone.
Mon Jan 7 11:21:00 EST 2008 gwern0@gmail.com * Config.hs: rm 'refresh' keybinding See previous patches: "And how often does one need to manually refresh? We recommend using a good terminal emulator like urxvt, so that's that, and I can't think of any others that'd benefit. Does anyone actually use this often? Then it might be better for them to add refresh to a hook."
I'm ambivalent on this one. It is rarely needed, but it is important when you do need it.
Mon Jan 7 11:23:57 EST 2008 gwern0@gmail.com * Config.hs: implement my suggestion to make 'n' bind to next window
We already have several bindings for this -- it seems counter to your "war on keybindings" to add a third binding to the same action :P
