Hi, i had the problem that i wanted to use programmers dvorak keymapping[1] (or better said, i wanted to learn it). But for me as an emacs user it is a little bit disturbing, that my keybindings change when doing so.

So i wrote a module that made it possible for me to define a keymapping, so that normal characters are translated by xmonad to programmers dvorak, and everythin that contains a modifier is left untouched.

This behaviour is done by grabbing all keys by xmonad and sending appropriate Events to the focused window.

It is also possible to change keymaps on the fly. Here i have the empty Mapping (here are also no keys bound by xmonad) on F1 and the dvorak Mapping on F2.

The attachment is fine, but it'd be better if it were a Darcs patch and not just the raw source. If you're not sure how to 'darcs add' a file, 'darcs record' it as a patch, and then 'darcs send' it to this list, the Darcs manual is useful: http://darcs.net/manual/ -- gwern

Hello Christian, I have a couple suggestions, mostly concerned with documentation: Type signatures for top level declarations are mandatory. Blocks of sample code should be prefixed with `>': -- > foo x y z = ... -- > .... Itemized lists need blank lines around each item. Lastly, the hardcoded constants could be calculated from the strings you listed with `map (fromIntegral . fromEnum)'. Leave out the fromIntegral if [Int] is the result you're looking for. If it was a runtime performance concern, you could use template haskell to run that calculation at compile time. Nice idea to restore some unserializable state with the startupHook. -- Adam On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 7:42 AM, Christian Dietrich wrote:
