Hi,

I'm using NX to connect to a remote Linux box, and both machines are running XMonad. How can I tell XMonad to pass every keyboard/mouse input to the remote desktop? In other words, I would like the remote desktop to "grab" my inputs, like the way VMWare and Remote Desktop work on Windows.

Thanks, Wei

Putting the application into "Full screen" mode is the only way really. I run XMonad with an "escape key" (ctrl-i) which prefixes most of XMonad's bindings. Other than making a copy of the bindings under an escape key, I'm not sure how it would be done. Heres a possible (untested) solution to avoid using submap for local commands: import XMonad.Actions.Submap -- for submap import XMonad.Util.Paste -- for sendKey myKeys = M.fromList $ [...] myEscapedKeys = M.fromList [((prefixMask, prefixKey), submap . mkKeys myKeys)] where mkKeys keys = M.MapWithKey (\(m, k) _ -> sendKey m k) keys allKeys = M.union myKeys myEscapedKeys Hope this helps. --Ben
