XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames

Contents

Description

Provides bindings to rename workspaces, show these names in DynamicLog and swap workspaces along with their names. These names survive restart. Together with XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir this provides for a fully dynamic topic space workflow.

Synopsis

Usage

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

import XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames

Then add keybindings like the following:

  , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_r      ), renameWorkspace def)

and apply workspaceNamesPP to your DynamicLog pretty-printer:

myLogHook =
    workspaceNamesPP xmobarPP >>= dynamicLogString >>= xmonadPropLog

We also provide a modification of XMonad.Actions.SwapWorkspaces's functionality, which may be used this way:

  , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Left  ), swapTo Prev)
  , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Right ), swapTo Next)
[((modm .|. controlMask, k), swapWithCurrent i)
    | (i, k) <- zip workspaces [xK_1 ..]]

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

Workspace naming

renameWorkspace :: XPConfig -> X () Source #

Prompt for a new name for the current workspace and set it.

workspaceNamesPP :: PP -> X PP Source #

Modify XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog's pretty-printing format to show workspace names as well.

getWorkspaceNames' :: X (WorkspaceId -> Maybe String) Source #

Returns a lookup function that maps workspace tags to workspace names.

getWorkspaceNames :: X (WorkspaceId -> String) Source #

Returns a function that maps workspace tag "t" to "t:name" for workspaces with a name, and to "t" otherwise.

getWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> X (Maybe String) Source #

Gets the name of a workspace, if set, otherwise returns nothing.

getCurrentWorkspaceName :: X (Maybe String) Source #

Gets the name of the current workspace. See getWorkspaceName

setWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> String -> X () Source #

Sets the name of a workspace. Empty string makes the workspace unnamed again.

setCurrentWorkspaceName :: String -> X () Source #

Sets the name of the current workspace. See setWorkspaceName.

Workspace swapping

swapTo :: Direction1D -> X () Source #

See swapTo. This is the same with names.

swapTo' :: Direction1D -> WSType -> X () Source #

Swap with the previous or next workspace of the given type.

swapWithCurrent :: WorkspaceId -> X () Source #

See swapWithCurrent. This is almost the same with names.

Workspace prompt

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

Same behavior than workspacePrompt excepted it acts on the workspace name provided by this module.
