Hi, I just made a contrib module to allow me launch applications asking user for parameters. I made a patch in darcs version of xmonad-contrib. I was pleased to send it to xmonad people. I works as in the example:

...

import XMonad.Actions.Applauncher import XMonad.Prompt ... , ((modm, xK_g), AL.launchApp defaultXPConfig "gimp" )

And when you launch gimp, it use Prompt to ask user the parameters (the file to open e.g) Thanks, -- Luis Cabellos, "Sonrie cuando te vayas a fosilizar, Que no piensen luego que lo has pasado mal"

Applied. Thanks! Shouldn't this go in XMonad.Prompt with the others, though?

I used XMonad.Actions.Search as template, but I agreed with you that its a little code and maybe it can be merged with other module. On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 7:11 PM, Devin Mullins wrote:

XMonad/Prompt is a directory full of little prompt modules. I'm thinking both Search and AppLauncher belong in there. (Moving Search might warrant some sort of deprecation module that spits out an xmessage, to be nice. Overkill? Underkill?)

Overkill, IMO. Keep a nice changelog of breaking changes (on the wiki), and a knowledgeable IRC channel, and people'll be fine. Deprecation methods are that much more discouraging code and overhead. -- gwern SWAT Pine domination gchq.gov. FLiR ASIS CSE Macintosh Macintosh detection
