Hi, Does anyone know of a layout that replicates the behavior of GNU Screen? I'd to be able to manually split/resize windows, Screen-style. Thanks!

XMonad is about _static_ tiling algorithms, not dynamic ones. See WMs like StumpWM, etc. for that. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

I don't want dynamic algorithms for all my workspaces, just for 1 or 2. I basically want to stop using Screen on my local machine when I can have the WM manage those windows instead. But I'll take a look at StumpWM, as it may be easier to make it use static tiling algorithms than it would be to make XMonad use dynamic ones.

Dunno about "replicates the behavior of" per se, but XMonad.Layout.ResizeableTile sounds like a decent starting place. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1GOsgACgkQIn7hlCsL25V0KACfV18tP65ed0zvALpm32784Jjl SXsAnRCWxZGgUnRPu/s0uDGOwDlJQcwv =8/j0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
