action of "doFullFloat" upon pressing a key
Dear xmonad users, I wasted several hours trying to find this out myself -- any help is highly appreciated. My xmonad.hs has myManageHook = composeOne [ transience , isFullscreen -?> doFullFloat ] This makes $ xpdf -fullscreen something.pdf display on the whole physical screen. However, it doesn't seem to work with video players like vlc and xine. I would like to have the effect of doFullFloat upon pressing a key. How would one tell xmonad to do that? thank you, Christoph

I haven't found any viable solutions to that. Currently I'm using "toggleLayouts Full" in my Layouthook to fullscreen apps which refuse to go into fullscreen by theirselfs… Other than that, there are quite a few apps which support "real fullscreen", for example smplayer (which is better than vlc anyway). :)

This should do it: import Data.Monoid .. fullFloatFocused = withFocused $ \f -> windows =<< appEndo `fmap` runQuery doFullFloat f You can then bind fullFloatFocused to a key.
