'''Xmonad''' is the tiling window manager that rocks!
=Basic Xmonad Keybindings=
Xmonad has very similar keybindings to [[w:dwm|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=
=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%"
