Hi,
How can I bind certain layouts to key combinations? So rather than cycle thorugh layouts with Mod Space, I'd like Mod F1 to give me layout 1, Mod F2 to give me layout 2, etc... I've been googling for a bit, but can't find an answer.
Thanks.

Hi Anze, You can do this using the JumpToLayout message from the XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators extension module. For example: import XMonad hiding ( (|||) ) -- don't use the normal ||| operator import XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators -- use the one from LayoutCombinators instead import XMonad.Util.EZConfig -- add keybindings easily main = xmonad myConfig myConfig = defaultConfig { ... layoutHook = tall ||| Mirror tall ||| Full ... } `additionalKeysP` [ ("M-<F1>", sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Tall") , ("M-<F2>", sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Mirror Tall") , ("M-<F3>", sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Full") ] tall = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) Untested, but that's the basic idea, hopefully that will get you going on the right track. Let us know if you've got more questions. -Brent
