Hi Everybody,
Is there a way make the WSGroup persistent after reboot with XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups?
Can we define statically the WSGroup? With addWSGroup?
Hi Alexis, Hi Brent,
Apologies for the delay in responding. Yes, to statically define some No problem.
WSGroups it should suffice to put some calls to addWSGroup in your startupHook. Let me know if you have any trouble. Actually I can set my Groups with addWSGroup in my startupHook, but only a group is created if the workspaces are displayed on screens.
eg : myWorkspaces = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"]
myStartupHook = do addWSGroup "g1" ["1", "2", "3"] addWSGroup "g2" ["4", "5", "6"]
After restarting xmonad, only g1 is created (and "1", "2" & "3" are displayed as usual).
Oh, sorry, I see what is wrong. DynamicWorkspaceGroups remembers not just the names of the workspaces but which screens they were on (so that the same workspaces will always be displayed on the same screens when you switch to a workspace group). So addWSGroup only looks among the currently displayed workspaces, because otherwise it does not know which screen id to use for each workspace.
The following function should achieve what you want:
import qualified Data.Map as M import qualified XMonad.Util.ExtensibleState as XS
addWSGroup' :: WSGroupId -> [(ScreenId, WorkspaceId)] -> X () addWSGroup' name = XS.modify . withWSG . M.insert name I have got the following error: xmonad.hs:27:32: Not in scope: `withWSG'
Thanks for your help.
Now you have to explicitly give it screen ID's, of course, like
myStartupHook = do addWSGroup' "g1" [(S 0, "1"), (S 1, "2"), (S 2, "3")] ... etc.
Unfortunately I do not remember whether there is any guarantee about the numbering of screens being consecutive or even being the same between different runs of xmonad. You will have to experiment a bit.
