Hi,

I am using Xmonad.Layout.Minimize with BoringWindows. When I minimize more windows, I would like to access them out of order than do one by one through RestoreNextMinimizedWin or restore from taskbar (I don't have taskbar, trayer + xmobar). Is there a way to hook it into Xmonad.Prompt or XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer etc.? It will also be helpful since if I forget which windows have been minimized.

Hi Raghavendra

To be able to restore and then bring, the function might look like:

bringRestored :: Window -> X () bringRestored w =do broadcastMessage (RestoreMinimizedWin w) windows (bringWindow w) -- or something else like XMonad.StackSet.focusWindow

Then you could to hook up XMonad.Prompt doing something similar to http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad-Prompt-Window.html#w... to supply that Window argument. Using XMonad.Util.Dmenu is shorter but might be broken depending on how your dmenu version matches up with your contrib version. In any case you should get the idea of how it can be done.

bringRestoredWindow = do wm <- windowMap w <- dmenu (M.keys wm) whenJust (M.lookup w wm) bringRestored

Thanks, it works. I had looked at http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad-Prompt-Window.html earlier but couldn't do the necessary plumbing between the functions; however, using X.U.Dmenu for now.
