Case insensitive WindowBringer

I love WindowBringer but I sometimes forget the menu items (window titles) are all lowercase. I type a capital letter, e.g. "Makefile" and get no results. Would you consider a pull request to make it case insensitive?

Is it WindowBringer or XPrompt that is causing the case-sensitivity issue? -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code

WindowBringer uses dmenu, not XMonad.Prompt. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Bummer. Sounds like an even better patch is needed ;) -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code

This is the change I have in mind: http://nottheoilrig.com/case-insensitive.patch Is it acceptable? Would you make any changes to it? There is a version of WindowBringer that uses XMonad.Prompt instead of dmenu: XMonad.Prompt.Window

Better way to do this is make a pull request on github. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

You bet, done: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/53 The Travis build check failed because "cabal update" failed. There was a problem with http://hackage.haskell.org/packages Is there anything I should do?

Not really. My experience is Travis gets that kind of thing a lot; another project I work with that uses the free Travis infra constantly gets spurious failures due to it failing to pull packages from apt-get or github or etc. I imagine they're not very motivated to fix it for the free service. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

And no sooner do I hit send on that, then: [27 17:29] <statusbot> Status update: The hackage server is in an out of memory condition.
