Hi all, I just pushed a few new contrib modules and wanted to highlight them here in case anyone might find them useful, or think of something interesting to do with them. Basically, I just discovered the excellent XMonad.Promptframework and have been playing around with it. * The first is XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile, which simply provides a prompt for you to type a single line of text which should be appended to a file. I use it for quickly writing down notes/reminders/todos that pop into my head into a special file, when I don't want to interrupt whatever else I'm doing. You could also use it for, say, writing a new xmonad contrib module line-by-line, although I don't recommend it. =) * The next is (IMO) the most interesting, XMonad.Prompt.Input. It provides a nice, modular way to build actions which require user input, using the existing prompt system to get the user input. I also refactored XMonad.Prompt a bit to make this possible. * XMonad.Prompt.Email is a simple example of the sort of thing that's possible with XMonad.Prompt.Input; it prompts the user for a recipient, a subject, and a short (one-line) body, and sends an e-mail via the GNU 'mail' utility. Comments, suggestions, and (especially) patches welcome! -Brent
