XMonad.Actions.MostRecentlyUsed

Description

Based on the Alt+Tab behaviour common outside of xmonad.

Synopsis

Usage

configureMRU must be applied to your config in order for mostRecentlyUsed to work.

main :: IO ()
main = xmonad . configureMRU . ... $ def
  { ...
  }

Once that's done, it can be used normally in keybinds:

, ((mod1Mask, xK_Tab), mostRecentlyUsed [xK_Alt_L, xK_Alt_R] xK_Tab)

N.B.: This example assumes that mod1Mask corresponds to alt, which is not always the case, depending on how your system is configured.

Interface

configureMRU :: forall (l :: Type -> Type). XConfig l -> XConfig l Source #

Configure xmonad to support mostRecentlyUsed.
