Hi,

...

I would like to keep firefox always as a main window, so that, for instance when I open the downloads window it will be shown as a small window. Is there any way to do this in xmonad?

I use the following ManageHook to do just this:

keepMaster :: String -> ManageHook keepMaster c = assertSlave <+> assertMaster where assertSlave = fmap (/= c) className --> doF W.swapDown assertMaster = className =? c --> doF W.swapMaster

Good ManageHook! why not sending a patch to add it to ManageHelpers? Btw, I'm now using it in with my new currentWs query (I've just sent the patch) in my web workspace like this: , [ className =? "Shiretoko" --> doF (W.shift "3:web") ] , [ currentWs =? "3:web" --> keepMaster "Shiretoko" ] (Shiretoko is the className of the Firefox window in ArchLinux) byebye!

Regards, Rickard
