On line 71, put "hostname" just after "myKeys" to make it the first parameter of the "myKeys" function and it should work (hopefully ;)). The other lines look good! Cheers Sylvain On 13/05/2016 14:24, Dave Macias wrote:

Thank you for replying

I did what you suggested and through trial and error, 3/4 lines look good. Now line 71 gives me the same error "not in scope"

I cant seem to figure out how to add it as a parameter. (Unless i did the other 3 lines wrong)

Thanks again Dave

Hi,

Indeed "hostname" is not in scope in "myKeys". You can add a "hostname" parameter to "myKeys" and to "defaults" (lines 21, 33, 48 and 71) to pass the "hostname" you retrieve in "main" down to "myKeys"

Hello i've googled around to try to figure this out. I feel im very close.

Im trying to add different actions to identical keybindings depending on the HOST im on. (i use my xmonad.hs file for my desktop and laptop)

Here is a snippet of what i did: (start on line 101) https://gist.github.com/davama/8ec019c5ea19f1f857f37ad140abbf41

I get the error "hostname not in scope".

I also have a hook which uses "hostname" and it works but cant add to keybindings.

What am i missing?

Thank you, Dave

I did try that but i remember it spit out a few errors. This is the error: "" *xmonad.hs:455:20:* * Couldn't match type ‘[Char]’ with ‘XConfig l0’* * Expected type: XConfig l0* * Actual type: String* * In the expression: hostname* * In the first argument of ‘defaults’, namely* * ‘hostname* * {manageHook = composeAll* * [manageDocks, manageSpawn, myManageHook, ....],* * startupHook = composeAll* * [myStartupHook, setWMName "Xmonad", myCaseHook hostname, ....],* * logHook = composeAll* * [myFadeHook, ewmhDesktopsLogHook, myDzenLogHook xmproc]* * >> updatePointer (0.5, 0.5) (0, 0)}’* "" Granted line *455* is actually line 71. (in the provided gist config) The *"In the first argument of ‘defaults’, namely"* output, that is line 48 if i understand it correctly. Let me know if i need to provide more of the xmonad.hs config code. (didnt want to flood you with its many lines) Dave On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 9:22 AM, Sylvain Henry wrote:
