Interesting, Didn't think of using dmenu for this. I'll explore it, thank you. On Thu, Feb 8, 2024 at 12:30 AM Ramon Diaz-Uriarte wrote:

Dear Eyal,

Without doing anything, special rofi shows the windows (e.g., "rofi -show window") and the workspace where they are. So if you know that somewhere you have a possibly hidden window with a recognizable name, this works perfectly. However, as far as I can tell, there is no indication that they are hidden.

This thread in reddit may be relevant too:

https://old.reddit.com/r/xmonad/comments/q63wt6/minimized_windows_list_open_...

Based on that thread, and some trial-and-error, I have some code in my xmonad.hs that will feed the hidden windows to rofi, so that they are listed (with the name of their workspace), and will be un-hidden on pressing Enter. The code works for me, but I am a complete ignorant in Haskell; this is from the reddit thread (i.e., from Ivan Malison) + trial and error + a few questions to perplexity.ai. The function I bind to a keybinding is myHiddenMenuBring

---------------------------------------------------------------------- minimizedWindows = withMinimized return restoreAll = mapM_ maximizeWindow restoreAllMinimized = minimizedWindows >>= restoreAll

windowIsMinimized w = do minimized <- XS.gets minimizedStack return $ w `elem` minimized

maybeUnminimize w = windowIsMinimized w >>= flip when (maximizeWindow w) maybeUnminimizeFocused = withFocused maybeUnminimize

-- Define a custom WindowBringerConfig to use rofi on hidden windows myRofiHiddenConfig :: WindowBringerConfig myRofiHiddenConfig = def { menuCommand = "rofi" , menuArgs = ["-show", "window", "-dmenu", "-p", "Hidden windows"] , windowFilter = \ w -> elem w <$> XS.gets minimizedStack }

myHiddenMenuBring :: X () myHiddenMenuBring = actionMenu myRofiHiddenConfig bringWindow >> maybeUnminimizeFocused

(It might be necessary to also import this, which I do anyway

import qualified XMonad.Util.Dmenu as DM ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Best,

R.

Hi,

I've recently added XMonad.Actions.Minimize/XMonad.Layout.Minimize to my setup and I like it a lot. My only issue is that I would love it if there was some visual queue that the workspace contains minimized windows. Currently, they just disappear and I need to remember where they exist.

Is there some way to show that? I'm also using polybar if that helps.

Thank you,
