Re: [xmonad] Fwd: How to use onScreen function on startup?

As far as I understand it, you're shifting windows to different workspaces upon these applications' startup. What I wanted is to assign a workspace to a screen at xmonad's startup. So I do not see connection between this and your example. ManageHook (apparently) isn't used at xmonad startup, instead just 'main' is called, but something's wrong with my understanding of this all. Thank you for responce anyway. On 12/12/10, Felix Blanke wrote:

Hi,

I'm not that familiar with haskell or xmonad, but I can tell you how I do that :)

-- Hooks -- manageHook' :: ManageHook manageHook' = composeAll .concat $ [ --app placement [ className =? c --> doF (W.shift "2-web") | c <- webApps ] , [ className =? c --> doF (W.shift "3-mail") | c <- mailApps ] , [ resource =? c --> doF (W.shift "4-multimedia") | c <- multimediaApps ] , [ className =? c --> doF (W.shift "5-IM") | c <- imApps ] , [ className =? c --> doF (W.shift "6-windows") | c <- windowsApps ] ]

webApps = ["Opera"] mailApps = ["Claws-mail", "mutt"] multimediaApps = ["mocp"] windowsApps = ["VirtualBox"] imApps = ["Skype"]

I think that isn't that hard to understand :)

"W" comes from "import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W"

Then just load that ManageHook in your main.

If you have any further question feel free to ask.

Hi,

Sorry to ask question out of total lack of knowledge of Haskell, but how do I use a function (in this case onScreen from XMonad.Actions.OnScreen) at xmonad startup? I's like to assign the last workspace to second screen by default, since it's really secondary in my setup (music player is there usually).

I tried putting this in main = do { ... } section: onScreen 1 "9";

but got this long error message (till end of this post): Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/kevin/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

Please check the file for errors.
