The warnings were related to ghc-7.6 removing Prelude.catch
(triggering warnings regarding the import hiding it), as well
as defaulting of some numeric types.
The base that comes with ghc-7.6.1 no longer includes Prelude.catch;
so these modules were changed so that there is no warning for
import Prelude hiding (catch)
At the same time these changes should be compatible with older GHCs,
since the catch being has never been the one in the Prelude.
For whatever reason, some patches applied were missing these signatures.
While haddock has been able to include inferred signatures for a while,
including type signatures makes it easier to see if and when types have
been changed.
XMonad core re-exports Control.Monad.State, which includes
a function "state" if you happen to use mtl-2. Since there's
a chance xmonad still works with mtl-1 avoid imports like:
import XMonad hiding (state)
Add ewmhDesktopsEventHookCustom, a generalized version of ewmhDesktopsEventHook that takes a sort function as argument. This sort function should be the same used by the LogHook.
* Adds mkPromptWithModes, creates a prompt given a list of modes (list of XPType).
* Adds Setting `alwaysHighlight` to defaultXPConfig. When set to true, autocompletion always highlight the first result if it is not highlighted.
Adds module XMonad.Actions.Launcher. This module allows to combine and switch between instances of XPrompt. It includes a default set of modes which require the programs `hoogle`, `locate` and `calc` to be installed to work properly.
screens. In xinerama mode, when a workscreen is viewed, workspaces
associated to all screens are visible.
The first workspace of a workscreen is displayed on first screen,
second on second screen, etc. Workspace position can be easily
changed. If the current workscreen is called again, workspaces are
shifted.
This also permits to see all workspaces of a workscreen even if just
one screen is present, and to move windows from workspace to workscreen.
Adds an UrgencyHook instance for the type Window -> X (), allowing any such
functions to be used directly as UrgencyHooks. The Show and Read constraints
were removed from the UrgencyHook class in order to permit this; these
constraints were required only in a historical implementation of the module,
which used a layout modifier.
All existing configurations using UrgencyHooks should remain fully functional.
New configs may make use of this modification by declaring their UrgencyHook as
a simple Window -> X () function.
+ change killWord and moveWord to have emacs-like behavior: first move
past/kill consecutive whitespace, then move past/kill consecutive
non-whitespace.
+ create variants killWord' and moveWord' which take a predicate
specifying non-word characters.
+ create variants defaultXPKeymap' and emacsLikeXPKeymap' which take
the same sort of predicate, which is applied to all keybindings with
word-oriented commands.
elements when modifying the searchString.
The implemented ordering sorts based on how "deep the needle is in the
haystack", meaning that searching for "st" in the elements "Install" and "Study"
will order them as "Study" and "Install". Previously there was no ordering and
when using GridSelect to select workspaces, the ordering was not consistent, as
the list of workspaces (if not modified manually) is ordered by last used. In
this case either "Study" or "Install" would come first depending on which
workspace was last visited.
Note this is very similar to the function of the same name exported by
DynamicWorkspaces. Ultimately it would probably be cleaner to
generalize the one in DynamicWorkspaces to accept an arbitrary
workspace sort as a parameter; this is left as an exercise for future
hackers.
is otherwise very difficult to do. Similarly to X.L.PerWorkspace, it provides
onHost, onHosts, modHost, and modHosts layout modifiers. It attempts to do
smart hostname comparison, such that short names will be matched with short
names and FQDNs with FQDNs.
This module currently requires that $HOST be set in the environment.
You can use System.Posix.Env.setEnv to do so in xmonad.hs if need be.
(Properly, this should be done via the network library, but I'm trying to
avoid adding that dependency.) An alternative would be to shell out to
get the name, but that has considerable portability hurdles.
Raising the X11 dependency while keeping the xmonad version the same leads to
problems where cabal install uses the dependency versions following hackage,
not what is installed.
Change the border resize rectangles to be narrower and only extend
inside the window not outside. Most window managers just seem to use
the border decoration area for starting resizes which is often just 1 pixel
wide but as a compromise the width is now 2 pixels (before it was 10!).
The rectangles are now placed symmetrically within the border and window.
This seems to work ok with PositionStoreFloat for the Bluetile config.
