Hi, this is all the code needed to have a i18n ready prompt. Probably you have already seen some code here: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2007-September/002117.html I also added support for escape characters (so that spaces, quotes or stuff like that can be used with the shell prompt) and I removed the readline requirement (now completions are provided directly by bash). Still XPrompt requires a modification to xmonad.cabal since we need to import some other C functions that don't fit in X11-extras: so XMonadContrib.XPromptLib must be included among the "other-modules" field in xmonad.cabal. I updated all the usage info to provide information to the users. These patches require the X11-extras patches I've already sent: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2007-September/002194.html Please report back any problem (also any success, if you like..;-) Andrea ps: I added a new pure function (breakAtSpace) and so I added a test for it. Some other previously tested functions have been removed from the code and from the test suite. What is scary is all the FFI stuff, though...;-) Tue Sep 18 11:09:16 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * XPrompt: added i18n support and support for escaped special characters Tue Sep 18 11:34:38 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * Added XPromptLib for some needed foreign functions Tue Sep 18 11:35:09 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * ShellPrompt: removed readline requirement and some more + added i18n support + now the prompt correctly handles escape and special characters + removed readline requirement Tue Sep 18 11:37:20 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * SshePrompt: updated usage info Tue Sep 18 11:37:56 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * XMonadPrompt: updated usage info Tue Sep 18 11:39:08 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it> * test_XPrompt.hs: removed tests of removed functions and added a test for breakAtSpace
