'''Xmonad''' is the tiling window manager that rocks! =Basic Xmonad Keybindings=Xmonad has very similar keybindings to #REDIRECT [[dwm]]. Heres a few of the major ones. They can be redefined by editing the example configuration below.;Mod-Space:Changes the tiling method;Mod-Enter:Changes the selected tile to the master tile;Mod-q:Restarts Xmonad. Note that any open windows and tiles will NOT bet lost;Mod-Shift-q:Kills Xmonad, and usually Xorg (depending on how you start X);Mod-j:Select the next tile;Mod-k:Select the previous tile;Mod-Shift-j:Move the current tile forward;Mod-Shift-k:Move the current tile backwards;Mod-n:Moves to desktop number n;Mod-Shift-n:Move the current tile to desktop n;Mod-h:Increase the size of the current tile;Mod-l:Decrease the size of the current tile;Mod-p:Launches dmenu (if installed) =Configuring Xmonad=Edit <code>~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs</code>, then restart Xmonad (Mod-q be default). This configuration file below is the default configuration file, plus a few changes. The mode key is moved from Alt to Super (windows key), the default terminal is set to urxvt instead of xterm, and the PrtSc and Ctr-PrtSc are mapped to scrot (see below for details). Note that this file is written in Haskell, and thus, comments are --. This file also starts xmobar (Xmonad's bar). It is usually a separate package, so if you want this bar, make sure to install it and configure .xmobarrc. =Ackthet's xmonad.hs and .xmobarrc=For dual head setup, come to IRC and bug Shards_of_Narsil (used to be ackthet)Here is an example .xmobarrc:<pre>Config { font = "-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-u" , bgColor = "#000000" , fgColor = "#00FFFF" , position = Top , lowerOnStart = False , commands = [ Run Network "eth0" ["-L","0","-H","32","-l", "green", "--normal","orange","--high","red"] 10 , Run Network "wlan0" ["-L","0","-H","32","-l", "green", "--normal","orange","--high","red"] 10 , Run Cpu ["<cpu0>/<cpu1>","-L","3","-H","50","-l","green","--normal","orange","--high","red"] 10 , Run Cpu ["<cpu0>","-L","3","-H","50","-l","green","--normal","orange","--high","red"] 10 , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%", "-l", "green", "--normal","orange","--high","red"] 10 , Run Date "%a %b %_d %H:%M" "date" 60 , Run CpuFreq ["-t","Freq:<cpu0>|<cpu1>GHz","-L","0","-H","2","-l","green","-n","orange","-h","red"] 10 , Run Battery ["-L","50","-H","75","--high","green","--normal","yellow", "--low", "red"] 10 , Run StdinReader ] , sepChar = "%" , alignSep = "}{" , template = " %StdinReader% }{ %cpu% @ %cpufreq% <fc=#0033FF>|</fc> %memory% <fc=#0033FF>|</fc> %eth0% <fc=#0033FF>|</fc> %wlan0% <fc=#0033FF>|</fc> %date% <fc=#0033FF>|</fc> %battery%" }</pre>Here is a modified xmonad.hs<pre>---- xmonad example config file for xmonad-0.9---- A template showing all available configuration hooks,-- and how to override the defaults in your own xmonad.hs conf file.---- Normally, you'd only override those defaults you care about.---- NOTE: Those updating from earlier xmonad versions, who use-- EwmhDesktops, safeSpawn, WindowGo, or the simple-status-bar-- setup functions (dzen, xmobar) probably need to change-- xmonad.hs, please see the notes below, or the following-- link for more details:---- http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.8-- import XMonadimport Data.Monoidimport System.Exitimport XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLogimport XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import qualified XMonad.StackSet as Wimport qualified Data.Map as M -- The preferred terminal program, which is used in a binding below and by-- certain contrib modules.--myTerminal = "urxvt" -- Whether focus follows the mouse pointer.myFocusFollowsMouse :: BoolmyFocusFollowsMouse = True -- Width of the window border in pixels.--myBorderWidth = 1 -- modMask lets you specify which modkey you want to use.
