Hy, currently I use the following config: -- snip -- main = xmonad =<< dbruhnConfig dbruhnConfig = do return $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { ... terminal = "urxvtc", keys = \c -> mykeys c `M.union` keys defaultConfig c, ... } where mykeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $ [ .... ((modm, xK_space), scratchpadSpawnAction defaultConfig), ... ] --- snip ------ The problem now is: the scratchpadSpawnAction takes the terminal out of the config. But as I provide the default-Config (which uses xterm) instead of my own config as parameter to the action the wrong terminal gets open. What is the replacement for defaultConfig if I want to tell "this" (speaking Java) or "self" (speaking Python). I tried writing "dbruhnConfig" there but this lead into a strange haskell-error Thanks for help -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik@dbruhn.de
