XMonad.Actions.MessageFeedback

of whether the message was handled, and utility functions based on
this facility.

Usage
You can use this module with the following in your xmonad.hs:
import XMonad.Actions.MessageFeedback
You can then use this module's functions wherever an action is expected. All feedback variants are supported:
- message to any workspace with no refresh
- message to current workspace with no refresh
- message to current workspace with refresh
Except "message to any workspace with refresh" which makes little sense.
Note that most functions in this module have a return type of X Bool
whereas configuration options will expect a X () action. For example, the
key binding:
-- Shrink the master area of a tiled layout, or move the focused window -- to the left in a WindowArranger-based layout ((modKey, xK_Left), tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB Shrink (MoveLeft 50))
is mis-typed. For this reason, this module provides alternatives (not ending
with an uppercase "B", e.g. sendMessage rather than
sendMessageB) that discard their boolean result and return an X (). For
example, to correct the previous example:
((modKey, xK_Left), tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent Shrink (MoveLeft 50))
This module also provides SomeMessage variants of each Message function
for when the messages are of differing types (but still instances of
Message). First box each message using SomeMessage or the convenience
alias sm. Then, for example, to send each message:
sendSomeMessages [sm messageOfTypeA, sm messageOfTypeB]
This is not equivalent to the following example, which will not refresh the workspace unless the last message is handled:
sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent messageOfTypeA >> sendMessage messageOfTypeB
Messaging variants
SomeMessage
sendSomeMessageB :: SomeMessage -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendMessage. Accepts SomeMessage; to use
Message see sendMessageB. Returns True if the message was handled,
False otherwise. Instead of using sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB
for efficiency this is pretty much an exact copy of the
sendMessage code - foregoes the O(n) updateLayout.
sendSomeMessage :: SomeMessage -> X () Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageB that discards the result.
sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshB :: SomeMessage -> Workspace WorkspaceId (Layout Window) Window -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendMessageWithNoRefresh. Accepts
SomeMessage; to use Message see sendMessageWithNoRefreshB. Returns
True if the message was handled, False otherwise.
sendSomeMessageWithNoRefresh :: SomeMessage -> Workspace WorkspaceId (Layout Window) Window -> X () Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshB that discards the result.
sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB :: SomeMessage -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendMessageWithNoRefresh that sends the
message to the current layout. Accepts SomeMessage; to use Message see
sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB. Returns True if the message was
handled, False otherwise. This function is somewhat of a cross between
sendMessage (sends to the current layout) and
sendMessageWithNoRefresh (does not refresh).
sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent :: SomeMessage -> X () Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB that discards the
result.
Message
sendMessageB :: Message a => a -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageB which like sendMessage
accepts Message rather than SomeMessage. Returns True if the message
was handled, False otherwise.
sendMessageWithNoRefreshB :: Message a => a -> Workspace WorkspaceId (Layout Window) Window -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshB which like
sendMessageWithNoRefresh accepts Message rather than
SomeMessage. Returns True if the message was handled, False otherwise.
sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB :: Message a => a -> X Bool Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB which accepts
Message rather than SomeMessage. Returns True if the message was
handled, False otherwise.
sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent :: Message a => a -> X () Source #
Variant of sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB that discards the result.
Utility Functions
Send All
sendSomeMessagesB :: [SomeMessage] -> X [Bool] Source #
Send each SomeMessage to the current layout without refresh (using
sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB) and collect the results. If any
message was handled, refresh. If you want to sequence a series of messages
that would have otherwise used sendMessage while
minimizing refreshes, use this.
sendSomeMessages :: [SomeMessage] -> X () Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessagesB that discards the results.
sendMessagesB :: Message a => [a] -> X [Bool] Source #
Variant of sendSomeMessagesB which accepts Message rather than
SomeMessage. Use this if all the messages are of the same type.
sendMessages :: Message a => [a] -> X () Source #
Variant of sendMessagesB that discards the results.
Send Until
tryInOrderB :: (SomeMessage -> X Bool) -> [SomeMessage] -> X Bool Source #
Apply the dispatch function in order to each message of the list until one
is handled. Returns True if so, False otherwise.
tryInOrderWithNoRefreshToCurrentB :: [SomeMessage] -> X Bool Source #
Variant of tryInOrderB that sends messages to the current layout without
refresh using sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB.
tryInOrderWithNoRefreshToCurrent :: [SomeMessage] -> X () Source #
Variant of tryInOrderWithNoRefreshToCurrent that discards the results.
tryMessageB :: (Message a, Message b) => (SomeMessage -> X Bool) -> a -> b -> X Bool Source #
Apply the dispatch function to the first message, and if it was not
handled, apply it to the second. Returns True if either message was
handled, False otherwise.
tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB :: (Message a, Message b) => a -> b -> X Bool Source #
Variant of tryMessageB that sends messages to the current layout without
refresh using sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB.
tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent :: (Message a, Message b) => a -> b -> X () Source #
Variant of tryMessage that discards the results.
Aliases
sm :: Message a => a -> SomeMessage Source #
Convenience shorthand for SomeMessage.
