i am using scratchpad as drop-down terminal together with screen. The scratchpad window is configured to take 35% of the window height. How can i increase and decrease the scratchpad height without using the mouse?

XMonad.Actions.FloatKeys might be of interest.

This works for most applications, but does not work for most terminals. The only terminal type i can use it with is gnome-terminal. But when i use gnome-terminal as a scratchpad-terminal, it won't work anymore. I can descrease the window height, but not increase it.

Is this a know bug? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

This is how i use floatkeys with namedscratchads in my config:

scratchpads = [ NS "screen" "gnome-terminal --title=screen" (title =? "screen") (customFloating $ W.RationalRect 0 0 1 0.57), ] , ("M-i", namedScratchpadAction scratchpads "screen") , ("M-o", withFocused (keysResizeWindow (0,20) (0,0))) --expand float at top , ("M-p", withFocused (keysResizeWindow (0,-20) (0,0))) --shrink float at top

You should probably send this back to the list. (I've copied it there.) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
