{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, TypeSynonymInstances #-} {- | Module : XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating Description : Track focus in the tiled layer. Copyright : (c) 2010 & 2013 Adam Vogt 2011 Willem Vanlint License : BSD-style (see xmonad/LICENSE) Maintainer : vogt.adam@gmail.com Stability : unstable Portability : unportable Layout modifier that tracks focus in the tiled layer while the floating layer or another sublayout is in use. This is particularly helpful for tiled layouts where the focus determines what is visible. It can also be used to improve the behaviour of a child layout that has not been given the focused window. The relevant bugs are Issue 4 and 306: , -} module XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating (-- * Usage -- $usage -- ** For other layout modifiers -- $layoutModifier trackFloating, useTransientFor, -- ** Exported types TrackFloating, UseTransientFor, ) where import XMonad.Prelude import XMonad import XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier import XMonad.Util.Stack (findZ) import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import qualified Data.Traversable as T newtype TrackFloating a = TrackFloating (Maybe Window) deriving (Read,Show) instance LayoutModifier TrackFloating Window where modifyLayoutWithUpdate (TrackFloating mw) ws@W.Workspace{ W.stack = ms } r = do xCur <- gets (W.peek .
