This change improves the UX of X.Prompt when `alwaysHighlight` is
enabled. This is especially useful for use with `mkXPromptWithModes`
which forces `alwaysHighlight` to be `True`.
When the user presses the `complKey` and `alwaysHighlight` is `True`,
one of two things will happen:
1. If this is the first time `complKey` is pressed in this round of
completion then the prompt buffer will be updated so it contains
the currently highlighted item.
2. Every other time that the `complKey` is pressed the next
completion item will be selected and the prompt buffer updated.
This gives immediate feedback to the user and allows using some
prompts with `alwaysHighlight` that weren't possible before (e.g.,
shellPrompt, directoryPrompt, etc.)
Prompt should have been using getXMonadDir this entire time but since
we now have getXMonadCacheDir use that instead. This brings
xmonad-contrib inline with the changes in #62.
This also fixesxmonad/xmonad-contrib#68
This patch enables support for key binding like Ctrl + i which was not
previously possible. Technically, this changes the type of completionKey
from KeySym to (KeyMask, KeySym).
On a keyboard-less device (such as a smartphone), where one has to use
an on-screen keyboard, the maximum completion window height must be
limited to avoid overlapping the keyboard.
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.
* 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.
+ 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.
This patch adds a way go up through X.Prompt's history using
only those entries that start with the current input, similar
to zsh's `history-search-backward'.
