XMonad.Actions.Eval

Description

Evaluate haskell expressions at runtime in the running xmonad instance.

Synopsis

Usage

This module provides functions to evaluate haskell expressions at runtime To use it, bind a key to evalExpression, for example in combination with a prompt:

import XMonad
import XMonad.Actions.Eval
import XMonad.Prompt.Input
..
  , ((modMask,xK_t), inputPrompt defaultXPConfig "Eval" >>= flip whenJust (evalExpression defaultEvalConfig))

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.
