XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces

Contents

Description

Provides bindings to add and delete workspaces.

Synopsis

Usage

You can use this module with the following in your xmonad.hs file:

import XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces
import XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow(copy)

Then add keybindings like the following:

  , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_BackSpace), removeWorkspace)
  , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_v      ), selectWorkspace def)
  , ((modm, xK_m                    ), withWorkspace def (windows . W.shift))
  , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_m      ), withWorkspace def (windows . copy))
  , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_r      ), renameWorkspace def)
-- mod-[1..9]       %! Switch to workspace N in the list of workspaces
-- mod-shift-[1..9] %! Move client to workspace N in the list of workspaces
   ++
   zip (zip (repeat (modm)) [xK_1..xK_9]) (map (withNthWorkspace W.greedyView) [0..])
   ++
   zip (zip (repeat (modm .|. shiftMask)) [xK_1..xK_9]) (map (withNthWorkspace W.shift) [0..])

Alternatively, you can associate indexes (which don't depend of the workspace list order) to workspaces by using following keybindings:

-- mod-[1..9]         %! Switch to workspace of index N
-- mod-control-[1..9] %! Set index N to the current workspace
   ++
   zip (zip (repeat (modm)) [xK_1..xK_9]) (map (withWorkspaceIndex W.greedyView) [1..])
   ++
   zip (zip (repeat (modm .|. controlMask)) [xK_1..xK_9]) (map (setWorkspaceIndex) [1..])

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see the tutorial. See also the documentation for XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow, windows, shift, and XPConfig.

addWorkspace :: String -> X () Source #

Add a new workspace with the given name, or do nothing if a workspace with the given name already exists; then switch to the newly created workspace.

addWorkspacePrompt :: XPConfig -> X () Source #

Prompt for the name of a new workspace, add it if it does not already exist, and switch to it.

appendWorkspace :: String -> X () Source #

Same as addWorkspace, but adds the workspace to the end of the list of workspaces

appendWorkspacePrompt :: XPConfig -> X () Source #

Prompt for the name of a new workspace, appending it to the end of the list of workspaces if it does not already exist, and switch to it.

addWorkspaceAt :: (WindowSpace -> [WindowSpace] -> [WindowSpace]) -> String -> X () Source #

Adds a new workspace with the given name to the current list of workspaces. This function allows the user to pass a function that inserts an element into a list at an arbitrary spot.

removeWorkspace :: X () Source #

Remove the current workspace.

removeWorkspaceByTag :: String -> X () Source #

Remove workspace with specific tag.

removeEmptyWorkspace :: X () Source #

Remove the current workspace if it contains no windows.

removeEmptyWorkspaceByTag :: String -> X () Source #

Remove workspace with specific tag if it contains no windows.

removeEmptyWorkspaceAfter :: X () -> X () Source #

Remove the current workspace after an operation if it is empty and hidden. Can be used to remove a workspace if it is empty when leaving it. The operation may only change workspace once, otherwise the workspace will not be removed.

removeEmptyWorkspaceAfterExcept :: [String] -> X () -> X () Source #

Like removeEmptyWorkspaceAfter but use a list of sticky workspaces, whose entries will never be removed.

addHiddenWorkspace :: String -> X () Source #

Add a new hidden workspace with the given name, or do nothing if a workspace with the given name already exists.

addHiddenWorkspaceAt :: (WindowSpace -> [WindowSpace] -> [WindowSpace]) -> String -> X () Source #

Add a new hidden workspace with the given name, or do nothing if a workspace with the given name already exists. Takes a function to insert the workspace at an arbitrary spot in the list.

withWorkspace :: XPConfig -> (String -> X ()) -> X () Source #

toNthWorkspace :: (String -> X ()) -> Int -> X () Source #

setWorkspaceIndex :: WorkspaceIndex -> X () Source #

Set the index of the current workspace.

type WorkspaceIndex = Int Source #

The workspace index is mapped to a workspace tag by the user and can be updated.
