Excerpts from joseph.h.garvin's message of Sun Feb 08 19:32:21 -0700 2009:
alerted (when it blinks in gnome-panel)? I'd like to have a desktop to toss instant messaging windows onto to disregard them until the person I'm talking to replies (which causes the window to alert if it currently doesn't have focus) at which point I'd like it to move to whatever desktop I happen to be working on so I'll notice it.
AFAICT, Hooks.UrgencyHooks doesn't provide a "bring the window to me" function, but perhaps you could define your own instance of UrgencyHook.
import Data.Maybe import XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer import XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook
data BringHook = BringHook deriving (Read, Show) instance UrgencyHook BringHook where urgencyHook _ _ = withUrgents $ flip whenJust (windows . bringWindow) . listToMaybe
then use something like
myConfig = withUrgencyHook BringHook $ defaultConf {...
pretty sure that should work. type checks in ghci anyway.
regards,
If that works for him, it'd be a worthwhile addition to the module. IIRC, I came up with & included in the module the reverse functionality - going *to* a window which set an urgency flag. So it only makes sense to include bringing the window. -- gwern
