Re: [xmonad] can one create layouts with fixed height or width for windows

LayoutHints can help with that. http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-LayoutHints.html

Maybe you could get LayoutHints to solve your problem with text editors, too, setting an X property on the editor window or something. I've googled around for a while now and cannot figure out how to set things like the minimum and maximum size hints for a window. Does such a utility exist?
