Now, instead of writing out incredibly dull things like
((modMask conf .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_F2), ...)
you can just write
("M-C-S-<F2>", ...)
Hooray!
Key binding and ManageHook to pop up a small, floating terminal window for a few quick commands.
Combined with a utility like detach[1], makes a great X application launcher.
Requires my two new ManageHooks (doRectFloat, specifically).

Improvements to DynamicLog include:
* Greatly expanded and improved documentation and examples
* remove seemingly useless makeSimpleDzenConfig function
* factor out xmobarPP
* add new ppExtras field to PP record, for specifying 'extra'
loggers which can supply information other than window title,
layout, and workspace status to a status bar (for example, time and date,
battery status, mail status, etc.)
The new XMonad.Util.Loggers module provides some example loggers that
can be used in the new ppExtras field of the PP record. Create your own,
add them to this module, go crazy! =)
It turns out that for urxvt, and most terminal, apparently, once you give a '-e' option, that's it.
They will not interpret anything after that as anything but input for /bin/sh, so if you wanted to go 'runInTerm "'screen -r session' -title IRC"',
you were SOL - the -title would not be seen by urxvt. This, needless to say, is bad, since then you can't do stuff like set the title which means
various hooks and extensions are helpless. This patch adds an extra options argument which is inserted *before* the -e. If you want the old behaivour,
you can just go 'runInTerm "" "executable"', but now if you need to do something extra, 'runInTerm "-title mutt" "mutt"' works fine.
This patch also updates callers.
* Export WorkspaceCompare and WorkspaceSort types.
* Extract commonality in sort methods into mkWsSort, which creates
a workspace sort from a workspace comparison function.
* Rename getSortByTag to getSortByIndex, since it did not actually sort
by tag at all; it sorts by index of workspace tags in the user's config.
* Create a new getSortByTag function which actually does sort
lexicographically by tag.
* Enhance documentation.
algorithm
- idea is to specify sorting algorithm from user's xmonad.hs
- xinerama sorting algorithm produces same ordering as
pprWindowSetXinerama
- default ppSort is set to getSortByTag, so the default functionality
is the same as it was before
issue 105 was due to the fact that tab windows created when
bootstrapping the windowset after a restart where managed. Setting the
override_redirect attributes to True fixes the issue.
Added the possibility to set the override_redirect attribute with
XMonad.Util.XUtils.creationNewWindow
* fix shadowing warning (ghc 6.8.2 complains)
* export a few more of the functions
* re-de-obfuscate generated URLs by not escaping alphanumerics or punct.
This module is intended to provide helpful functions for easily running web searchs; just hit a bound key, enter your query, and up opens a new tab/browser/window with the search results. In theory anyway; the Wikipedia and Google ones work fine for me, but the Internet Archive's docs on how to do don't necessarily seem to be correct. If you were, like me, previously running shell commands to call Surfraw or similar shell scripts to do the same thing, you can now scrap them and replace them.
There aren't too many search engines defined here; new ones would be good, and they're easy to add!
