This is a convenience module in order to have less import noise. It
re-exports the following:
a) Commonly used modules in full (Data.Foldable, Data.Applicative, and
so on); though only those that play nicely with each other, so that
XMonad.Prelude can be imported unqualified without any problems.
This prevents things like `Prelude.(.)` and `Control.Category.(.)`
fighting with each other.
b) Helper functions that don't necessarily fit in any other module;
e.g., the often used abbreviation `fi = fromIntegral`.
Commits d638dc8b and a5e87e38 introduced a per-AvoidStruts-instance
strut cache that
a) didn't get initialized at startup,
b) didn't get reinitialized after layout reset and
c) didn't get updates if it wasn't the active layout, for example when
layoutHook = avoidStruts tall ||| avoidStruts (mirror tall)
a) + b) could be fixed by using the docksStartupHook introduced in
28e9f8bc, although this wasn't documented and having to call
docksStartupHook after setLayout is far from obvious.
By moving the strut cache from AvoidStruts instances to a global state,
b) and c) are fixed. One still has to invoke the docksStartupHook for
a), and this will be addressed in the next commit.
Checks for floating windows within the layout area and finds a maximum area
rectangle within that does not overlap with any of the floating windows.
This rectangle is used for all non-floating windows.
This new functionality introduced problems with the recommended configuration
of one of my other modules (X.A.FloatSnap.) A new and more reliable method of
distinguishing between clicks and drags where therefore introduced in the new
module X.A.AfterDrag.
This does not break any prior use of FloatSnap, but will require changes in
configuration if used together with AvoidFloats. (This is mentioned in the
docs for AvoidFloats and I recommend using the new configuration method even if
AvoidFloats is not in use.)
This patch will remove snapping against unmanaged windows, but instead calculate a new rectangle with all gaps (computed by ManageDocks) removed. This new rectangle is used to snap against. (Both the inside and outside of the rectangle.)
This will remedy the issue of snapping against multiple layers of the same window, additionally there will be no snap-points between windows on the same side. So if you are running two dzen side by side with half the screen each. You will not automatically have a snap-point in the middle.
Naturally, this patch will change which function is exported from ManageDocks.
