Re: [xmonad] normal (rather than greedy) view: disable screen-focus switching?

21 Sep 2010

      Hello! Thank you for all your help! I tried that but now I get the following errors instead:

Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/l/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

xmonad.hs:51:31: Not in scope: `tag'

xmonad.hs:51:37: Not in scope: `workspace'

xmonad.hs:51:49: Not in scope: `visible'

xmonad.hs:52:48: Not in scope: `view'

Please check the file for errors.

Lines 51 and 52 are the ones I just added.

Many thanks if you can tell me how to fix this! : )

It should look like this instead:
isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible
ws)
lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w
ws
main = xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig {
        manageHook = manageHook
gnomeConfig <+> composeAll myManageHook,
        workspaces = myWorkspaces,
        modMask = mod4Mask, -- makes
all xmonad shortcuts be "Windows key + X" (thus not
interfering with any app's)
        borderWidth     
  = 3,
        normalBorderColor  =
"#cccccc",
        focusedBorderColor =
"#cd8b00",
        layoutHook = showWName
myLayout
        }
        `additionalKeysP` myKeys
Good luck,

Hello! Many thanks for your help.

There may be a contrib module for this. I don't
know. In
any case, some untested code follows:
isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace)
(visible
ws)
lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else
view w
ws
You can then use lazyView exactly as you would use
view or
greedyView (it should have the same type).
I must be placing this code in the wrong part of my
xmonad.hs file. I edited the 'main' segment so that it
reads:
main = xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig {
         manageHook =
manageHook gnomeConfig <+> composeAll myManageHook,
         workspaces =
myWorkspaces,
         modMask =
mod4Mask, -- makes all xmonad shortcuts be "Windows key + X"
(thus not interfering with any app's)

   borderWidth        =
3,
...

   normalBorderColor  = "#cccccc",

   focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00",
...
         layoutHook =
showWName myLayout,
         isVisible w ws =
any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible ws),
         lazyView  w
ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w ws
         }

   `additionalKeysP` myKeys
but I get an error message saying
xmonad.hs:59:11: parse error on input `w'
where line 59 is the one defining (?) isVisible. If
someone knows what I am doing wrong, that would be great.
Many thanks!
