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

Thank you all for your answers. I also added this, to my manage hooks: (doF W.swapDown) to prevent new windows from being open in the master pane. Regards, Damian.
