Cool, rotFocusedDown and Up works for me. I'm trying to get Keybinding per Layout work On Sun, 21 Mar 2010, Wirt Wolff wrote:

Thanks for your analysis. The layout is like this:
1. It always has two panes, left and right;
2. Suppose we have windows A, B, C, D and E; currently left pane displays A and right pane displays B; A is focused: (A)|B [C, D, E] window in () is focused, windows in [] are not visible;
3. When pressing M-J/K, left pane switches between all windows expect B, focus in always on left pane. so it can become: (C)|B [A, D, E] (D)|B [A, C, E] (E)|B [A, C, D]
4. When pressing M-S, focus switches between left and right pane. so it can become: A|(B) [C, D, E]
5. When focus is on right pane, when pressing M-J/K, right pane switches between all windows expect A: A|(C) [B, D, E] A|(D) [A, C, E] A|(E) [A, C, D]
Is there any solution for this requirement?
Hi lars,
For the TwoPane binding on M-J/K, if I understand what you want, then rotFocusedUp and rotFocusedDown from XMonad.Actions.CycleWindows should do it. So if you use those on "M-j" "M-k" you'd be rebinding those to act differently in all layouts. When I used to use TwoPane most all the time, I put rotFocused bindings on M-U/I to keep using M-J/K in other tiling layouts, but you could get fancier to have less key bindings (see below).
For the M-S switch this is the version I used to use: i.e. ("M-s", windows (W.modify' switchTP))
switchTP (W.Stack t [] (r:rs)) = W.Stack r [t] rs -- master focused switchTP (W.Stack t [l] rrs) = W.Stack l [] (t:rrs) -- other focused -- TwoPane never has more than one above focus switchTP s = s -- do nothing if one window or not TwoPane-ish
Hopefully that is good enough for that part of what you're wanting.
If having the same key actions for all layouts doesn't work so well for you, you could perhaps:
* Put layouts that all work well with the TwoPane bindings on a few workspaces only, with Layout.PerWorkspace. Then you can use Actions.PerWorkspaceKeys to have the TwoPane key bindings only on those workspaces.
* Get a modified version of PerWorkspaceKeys working with layout descriptions rather than workspace tags so that your key bindings run TwoPane actions only in TwoPane layout variations and otherwise run defaults. (Attached is long abandoned ConditionalKeys experiment that shows over-complicated clues about how to do that.) -- wmw
