If you have import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W or something like that at the top of your xmonad.hs (as is common), then you will need to use W.tag, W.workspace, and so on. Or, if you haven't imported XMonad.StackSet at all, you can just add import XMonad.StackSet to the top of your xmonad.hs. -Brent On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 08:25:23AM -0700, Lara Michaels wrote:

Hello! Thank you for all your help! I tried that but now I get the following errors instead:

Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/l/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

xmonad.hs:51:31: Not in scope: `tag'

xmonad.hs:51:37: Not in scope: `workspace'

xmonad.hs:51:49: Not in scope: `visible'

xmonad.hs:52:48: Not in scope: `view'

Please check the file for errors.

Lines 51 and 52 are the ones I just added.

Many thanks if you can tell me how to fix this! : ) ~l

Hello! Many thanks for your help.

There may be a contrib module for this. I don't know. In any case, some untested code follows:

isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible ws) lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w ws

You can then use lazyView exactly as you would use view or greedyView (it should have the same type).

I must be placing this code in the wrong part of my xmonad.hs file. I edited the 'main' segment so that it reads:

main = xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig {          manageHook = manageHook gnomeConfig <+> composeAll myManageHook,          workspaces = myWorkspaces,          modMask = mod4Mask, -- makes all xmonad shortcuts be "Windows key + X" (thus not interfering with any app's)      

   borderWidth        = 3,

...

         normalBorderColor  = "#cccccc",      

   focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00",

...

         layoutHook = showWName myLayout,          isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible ws),          lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w ws          }          `additionalKeysP` myKeys

but I get an error message saying

xmonad.hs:59:11: parse error on input `w'

where line 59 is the one defining (?) isVisible. If someone knows what I am doing wrong, that would be great.

Many thanks! ~l
