Help: sendMessage doesn't work for me in combineTwo
Hi list, I added the following to my Config.hs hunk ./Config.hs 141 + , Layout $ combineTwo (TwoPane delta (5%16)) + (Mirror tiled) + (Circle) hunk ./Config.hs 240 + + -- for combineTwo + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_l), sendMessage $ Move R) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_h), sendMessage $ Move L) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Up), sendMessage $ Move U) + , ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Down), sendMessage $ Move D) in the hope that pressing the key would move a window from one pane to the other. But I can't. Pressing the key combination doesn't do anything. Am I doing anything wrong? Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <
Sorry, I didn't read the WindowNavigation.hs and didn't add that into the layoutHook. Please discard this question. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

How does this look and work? I'd never have thought to use this particular combination... -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

It looks cool on my 1920x1200 screen. I'm actually using ThreeColumns instead of the default Tall mode on the left pane, so there are three windows on the left, and at the same time the pretty Circle layout occupies the larger right area. It's not as useful as the plain ThreeColumns, which is my default layout that I use while working, but as a casual layout for a screen, where you may just put an email application, a web browser, some im/irc, etc., it's a quite good one. However, as you mentioned in the file Combo.hs, the /weirdness/ of the layout order with combineTwo really limits the use of such a layout. Although swapMaster still works amazingly (yet sometimes it swaps both masters in both pane), I'm forced to switch all other window navigation commands to those in WindowNavigation, which are not at all bad in usual tiled layout. However, Circle doesn't play well with those commands in WindowNavigation, as some of you may be already aware. Fortunately, the track point and touch pad on my laptop come into rescue. Thus I'm able to change focus without too much effort of moving my hands. After all, it's a casual layout for killing time. And here is a screen shot for those of you who are interested in what it would look like. Sorry to make this email much bigger. ;-) Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <
