Xmonad the tiling window manager that rocks! ackthet's xmonad.hs (put it in .xmonad/xmonad.hs): -- -- 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 XMonad import Data.Monoid import System.Exit import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks

-- 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 :: Bool myFocusFollowsMouse = True

-- Width of the window border in pixels. -- myBorderWidth = 1

-- modMask lets you specify which modkey you want to use. The default -- is mod1Mask ("left alt"). You may also consider using mod3Mask -- ("right alt"), which does not conflict with emacs keybindings. The -- "windows key" is usually mod4Mask. -- myModMask = mod4Mask

-- The mask for the numlock key. Numlock status is "masked" from the -- current modifier status, so the keybindings will work with numlock on or -- off. You may need to change this on some systems. -- -- You can find the numlock modifier by running "xmodmap" and looking for a -- modifier with Num_Lock bound to it: -- -- > $ xmodmap | grep Num -- > mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) -- -- Set numlockMask = 0 if you don't have a numlock key, or want to treat -- numlock status separately. -- myNumlockMask = mod2Mask

-- The default number of workspaces (virtual screens) and their names. -- By default we use numeric strings, but any string may be used as a -- workspace name. The number of workspaces is determined by the length -- of this list. -- -- A tagging example: -- -- > workspaces = ["web", "irc", "code" ] ++ map show [4..9] -- myWorkspaces = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"]

-- Layouts:

-- You can specify and transform your layouts by modifying these values. -- If you change layout bindings be sure to use 'mod-shift-space' after -- restarting (with 'mod-q') to reset your layout state to the new -- defaults, as xmonad preserves your old layout settings by default. -- -- * NOTE: XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops users must remove the obsolete -- ewmhDesktopsLayout modifier from layoutHook. It no longer exists. -- Instead use the 'ewmh' function from that module to modify your -- defaultConfig as a whole. (See also logHook, handleEventHook, and -- startupHook ewmh notes.) -- -- The available layouts. Note that each layout is separated by |||, -- which denotes layout choice. -- myLayout = tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full

 where
   -- default tiling algorithm partitions the screen into two panes
   tiled   = Tall nmaster delta ratio

   nmaster = 1

   ratio   = 1/2

   -- Percent of screen to increment by when resizing panes
   delta   = 3/100


-- Window rules:

-- Execute arbitrary actions and WindowSet manipulations when managing -- a new window. You can use this to, for example, always float a -- particular program, or have a client always appear on a particular -- workspace. -- -- To find the property name associated with a program, use -- > xprop | grep WM_CLASS -- and click on the client you're interested in. -- -- To match on the WM_NAME, you can use 'title' in the same way that -- 'className' and 'resource' are used below. -- myManageHook = composeAll

   [ className =? "MPlayer"        --> doFloat
   , className =? "Gimp"           --> doFloat

-- Event handling

-- Defines a custom handler function for X Events. The function should -- return (All True) if the default handler is to be run afterwards. To -- combine event hooks use mappend or mconcat from Data.Monoid. -- -- * NOTE: EwmhDesktops users should use the 'ewmh' function from -- XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops to modify their defaultConfig as a whole. -- It will add EWMH event handling to your custom event hooks by -- combining them with ewmhDesktopsEventHook. -- myEventHook = mempty


-- Status bars and logging

-- Perform an arbitrary action on each internal state change or X event. -- See the 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog' extension for examples. -- -- -- * NOTE: EwmhDesktops users should use the 'ewmh' function from -- XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops to modify their defaultConfig as a whole. -- It will add EWMH logHook actions to your custom log hook by -- combining it with ewmhDesktopsLogHook. -- myLogHook = return ()


-- Startup hook

-- Perform an arbitrary action each time xmonad starts or is restarted -- with mod-q. Used by, e.g., XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace to initialize -- per-workspace layout choices. -- -- By default, do nothing. -- -- * NOTE: EwmhDesktops users should use the 'ewmh' function from -- XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops to modify their defaultConfig as a whole. -- It will add initialization of EWMH support to your custom startup -- hook by combining it with ewmhDesktopsStartup. -- myStartupHook = return ()


-- Now run xmonad with all the defaults we set up.

-- Run xmonad with the settings you specify. No need to modify this. -- main = xmonad=<< xmobar defaults

-- A structure containing your configuration settings, overriding -- fields in the default config. Any you don't override, will -- use the defaults defined in xmonad/XMonad/Config.hs -- -- No need to modify this. -- defaults = defaultConfig {
