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`.
modWorkspace already was capable of modifying the layout with an arbitrary
layout -> layout function, but its original type restricted it such that it
could only apply a single LayoutModifier; this was often inconvenient, as for
example it was not possible simply to compose LayoutModifiers for use with
modWorkspace.
This patch also reimplements onWorkspaces in terms of modWorkspaces, since with
the latter's less restrictive type this is now possible.
As I said in order to have a CombinedLayout type instace of
LayoutClass and a class for easily writing pure and impure combinators
to be feeded to the CombinedLayout together with the layouts to be
conbined, there's seems to be the need to change the type of the
LayoutClass.description method from l a -> String to l a -> X String.
Without that "ugly" change - loosing the purity of the description
(please note the *every* methods of that class unless description
operates in the X monad) - I'm plainly unable to write something
really useful and maintainable. If someone can point me in the right
direction I would really really appreciate.
Since, in the meantime, PerWorkspace, which has its users, is broken
and I broke it, I'm reverting it to it supposedly more beautiful
PerWorkspac [WorkspaceId] (Maybe Bool) (l1 a) (l2 a) type.
This module allows you to configure layouts on a per-workspace basis,
rather than specifying the same layout for all workspaces. (Of course,
you still really *are* specifying the same layout for all workspaces,
it just acts differently depending on the workspace. =)
