Hello all,

I really like the utility XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile and have setup up a series of reminder files that are appendable through XMonad.Actions.Submap. It seems however, that I cannot paste into the prompt that comes up. That is I can't use ctrl-v or middle click. It turns out that I actually want to do this quite a bit. Is there something I am overlooking or is there a workaround/another method to get the same general functionality. I am an extreme novice when it comes to haskell. Thanks

Hi, pasting is bound to Ctrl+y by default: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad-Prompt.html#defaultX... You change that by passing a custom XPConfig to the XMonad.Prompt functions, where the promptKeymap field is modified accordingly. For example: import qualified Data.Map as M .. myXPConfig = defaultXPConfig { promptKeymap = M.insert (controlMask, xK_v) pasteString defaultXPKeymap } .. .. somePromptFunction myXPConfig Cheers, Daniel
