Hi I'm looking for an Ion3 replacement, and from this list archives I understand that I'm not the only one refugee :) Xmonad is #1 candidate for several reasons, implementation language being one of them -- I'm trying to learn Haskell when I have some free time. But it is one of the biggest complexities as well because I have several custom Ion scripts which I'm very used to and which I'd like to port to the new WM, but my Haskell knowledge isn't sufficient at the moment. First of them intercepts XF86ScrollUp/XF86ScrollDown keys and changes XKB layouts (en/ru). It also remembers current layout for every window and switches them when focus changes, and also shows current layout name in the status bar. It requires small C part to change the layout, but standard setxkbmap can also be used. Another one is a port of gimme.jl from Sawfish: it lets you configure bindings to bring focus to specific windows or start a program if it doesn't exist. For example when I press Mod-K it searches for a window with role='konsole-mainwindow#1' and brings focus to it, or starts a new konsole if such window cannot be found. The last one is a bit more complex and combines the previous script with named scratchpads. It's easier to illustrate it with an example: when I press Mod-S for the first time, a new floating window appears and stardict is launched inside; of course it gets the focus. Consequent Mod-S keypresses toggle this window's visibility, keeping stardict running, i.e. no new instance is created if one is already running. This is very convenient, for instance I have such binding which opens 'gvim ~/notes.txt' when I press 'my favories' button, and so I always have a scratchpad by my hand. So, my question is: is it possible for somebody who's just in the middle of reading yaht.pdf to implement such things, or it's too complex and migration should be postponed for now? Thanks -- /KoS
