I meant XMonad.Actions.Launcher in the patch. Thoughts, suggestions and nerd-rage are very welcome.

Hi Carlos,

can you explain this in more detail?

What would I do differently?

Thanks,

Carsten

Hello Carsten,

The module is a prompt, like Prompt.Shell, where you can change between more prompts ("modes"). Currently there are 4 modes:

- search hoogle (requires local install). It opens a haddock documentation on a browser. - search files with locate. It opens a file with a desired program, depending on its extension. - search files with locate --regexp. Like the one above, but autocompletion takes regex. - calculator (requires `calc` installed), only autocompletes arithmetic expressions.

If you would like to try it, you can check the usage notes in the haddock documentation, which I'm attaching

Thanks I know about those but still don't know what that has to do with the Launcher prompt. Slightly confused.

By the way I think I fixed the bug with alwaysHighlight. I will send it now to the list, I hope everything works for you now.

Thansk I will test it once hackage is online.
