Re: [xmonad] Changing workspace using the mouse

You should also take a look at XMonad.Layout.WindowSwitcherDecoration, which allows you to swap windows in the tiling order by dragging one on top of another. -Brent On Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 11:01:41AM -0500, Daniel Wagner wrote:

You might be interested in checking out the documentation for mouseBindings: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-Core.html#v%3AmouseBindings For example, I could imagine setting up left click+scroll to move the focused window up and down the stack, and right click+scroll to move the focused window up and down the workspace list. Untested example follows:

import Data.Map import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS import XMonad.StackSet

main = xmonad defaultConfig { mouseBindings = const $ fromList [ ((button1Mask, button4), const (windows focusUp)), ((button1Mask, button5), const (windows focusDown)), ((button2Mask, button4), const (shiftToPrev >> prevWS)), ((button2Mask, button4), const (shiftToNext >> nextWS)) ] }

Quoting "Ian D. Leroux" :

I'm interested in using the mouse to navigate between windows, while retaining the benefits of tiled window management (I hate resizing windows by hand). Xmonad already lets me change the focus within a workspace with the mouse. Is there any way (possibly using an extension or by interaction with an external tool) to use the mouse to switch workspaces? How about rearranging windows within a (tiled) workspace? I haven't found anything relevant in the documentation or the list archives, but I might not be searching for the right thing. If no such capability currently exists, do you have any tips on where I should start if I want to try writing my own?

Thanks,
