XMonad.Layout.Groups followup
Hi people, I know I promised to try and merge my Groups layout into X.L.Sublayout; it won't happen. I've just spent a long while without a Linux machine, and in the meantime my interest in hacking XMonad has waned considerably. So I plan on leaving X.L.Groups as a separate module. Its functionality does overlap with Sublayouts, but not completely, and from what I remember about my attempts to merge them it's not at all trivial. They also offer very different interfaces, which make different things easy to do. The patch file I've attached contains a few fixes to the Groups layout which I hadn't sent yet, a minor redesign of the interface which, as far as I'm concerned, is now frozen, and a patch to orphan all the modules I was supposed to be maintaining. With these fixes, the only outstanding problem left with X.L.Groups (as far as I'm aware) is that when deleting the focused window focus may jump back to another one at surprising places in the layout, but I don't see a obvious way of fixing and I don't want to spend too much time on this anymore, so I'm leaving it as-is. Cheers, Quentin
