Re: [xmonad] putEnv from Prompt.Input

I'm using straight st (when testing this I was using it without tmux or any other multiplexer). I also tested with xterm and urxvt (no client-daemon) On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 1:31 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

I'm using Prompt.Input (inputPrompt) to query for values such as "VAR=val" and passing those along to putEnv. The problem is when I start a new terminal using the standard mod+shift+enter the environment does not have VAR=val in it.

What kind of terminal are you starting? If it's based on a terminal factory (e.g. urxvtc+urxvtd, or xfce4-terminal, etc.) then it won't get any environment variables from anything but the invocation that starts the factory backend.
