# Change Log / Release Notes
## unknown
### Breaking Changes
* All modules that export bitmap fonts as their default
- If xmonad is compiled with XFT support (the default), use an XFT
font instead. The previous default expected an X11 misc font
(PCF), which is not supported in pango 1.44 anymore and thus some
distributions have stopped shipping these.
This fixes the silent `user error (createFontSet)`; this would
break the respective modules.
* `XMonad.Prompt`
- Now `mkComplFunFromList` and `mkComplFunFromList'` take an
additional `XPConfig` argument, so that they can take into
account the given `searchPredicate`.
- A `complCaseSensitivity` field has been added to `XPConfig`, indicating
whether case-sensitivity is desired when performing completion.
- `historyCompletion` and `historyCompletionP` now both have an `X`
constraint (was: `IO`), due to changes in how the xmonad core handles XDG
directories.
- The prompt window now sets a `WM_CLASS` property. This allows
other applications, like compositors, to properly match on it.
* `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops`
- It is no longer recommended to use `fullscreenEventHook` directly.
Instead, use `ewmhFullscreen` which additionally advertises fullscreen
support in `_NET_SUPPORTED` and fixes fullscreening of applications that
explicitly check it, e.g. mupdf-gl, sxiv, …
`XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen.fullscreenSupport` now advertises it as well,
and no configuration changes are required in this case.
- `ewmh` function will use `logHook` for handling activated window. And now
by default window activation will do nothing.
You can use regular `ManageHook` combinators for changing window
activation behavior and then add resulting `ManageHook` using
`activateLogHook` to your `logHook`. Also, module `X.H.Focus` provides
additional combinators.
* All modules still exporting a `defaultFoo` constructor
- All of these were now removed. You can use the re-exported `def` from
`Data.Default` instead.
* `XMonad.Hooks.Script`
- `execScriptHook` now has an `X` constraint (was: `MonadIO`), due to changes
in how the xmonad core handles XDG directories.
* `XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames`
- The type of `getWorkspaceNames` was changed to fit into the new `ppRename`
field of `PP`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar`, `XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar.PP` (previously
`XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`) and `XMonad.Util.Run`
- `spawnPipe` no longer uses binary mode handles but defaults to the
current locale encoding instead.
`dynamicLogString`, the output of which usually goes directly into such
a handle, no longer encodes its output in UTF-8, but returns a normal
`String` of Unicode codepoints instead.
When these two are used together, everything should continue to work as
it always has, but in isolation behaviour might change.
(To get the old `spawnPipe` behaviour, `spawnPipeWithNoEncoding` can now
be used, and `spawnPipeWithUtf8Encoding` was added as well to force
UTF-8 regardless of locale. These shouldn't normally be necessary, though.)
- `xmonadPropLog` and `xmonadPropLog'` now encode the String in UTF-8.
Again, no change when used together with `dynamicLogString`, but other
uses of these in user configs might need to be adapted.
* `XMonad.Actions.TopicSpace`
- Deprecated the `maxTopicHistory` field, as well as the
`getLastFocusedTopics` and `setLastFocusedTopic` functions. It is
now recommended to directly use `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
instead.
- Added `TopicItem`, as well as the helper functions `topicNames`,
`tiActions`, `tiDirs`, `noAction`, and `inHome` for a more
convenient specification of topics.
* `XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS`
- Changed the signature of `recentWS` to return a `[WorkspaceId]`
instead of a `[WindowSet]`, while `cycleWindowSets` and
`toggleWindowSets` now take a function `WindowSet ->
[WorkspaceId]` instead of one to `[WindowSet]` as their first
argument. This fixes the interplay between this module and any
layout that stores state.
* `XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators`
- Moved the alternative `(|||)` function and `JumpToLayout` to the
xmonad core. They are re-exported by the module, but do not add any
new functionality. `NewSelect` now exists as a deprecated type
alias to `Choose`.
- Removed the `Wrap` and `NextLayoutNoWrap` data constructors.
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar.PP`
Originally contained inside `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`, this module provides the
pretty-printing abstraction and utilities, used primarly with `logHook`.
Below are changes from `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`, that now are included in
this module:
- Added `shortenLeft` function, like existing `shorten` but shortens by
truncating from left instead of right. Useful for showing directories.
- Added `shorten'` and `shortenLeft'` functions with customizable overflow
markers.
- Added `filterOutWsPP` for filtering out certain workspaces from being
displayed.
- Added `xmobarBorder` for creating borders around strings and
`xmobarFont` for selecting an alternative font.
- Added `ppRename` to `PP`, which makes it possible for extensions like
`workspaceNamesPP`, `marshallPP` and/or `clickablePP` to compose
intuitively.
* `XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar`
This module provides a new interface that replaces `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`,
by providing composoble status bars. Supports property-based as well
as pipe-based status bars.
* `XMonad.Util.Hacks`
A collection of hacks and fixes that should be easily acessible to users:
- `windowedFullscreenFix` fixes fullscreen behaviour of chromium based
applications when using windowed fullscreen.
- `javaHack` helps when dealing with Java applications that might not work
well with xmonad.
- `trayerAboveXmobarEventHook` reliably stacks trayer on top of xmobar and
below other windows
* `XMonad.Util.ActionCycle`
A module providing a simple way to implement "cycling" `X` actions,
useful for things like alternating toggle-style keybindings.
* `XMonad.Actions.RotateSome`
Functions for rotating some elements around the stack while keeping others
anchored in place. Useful in combination with layouts that dictate window
visibility based on stack position, such as `XMonad.Layout.LimitWindows`.
Export `surfaceNext` and `surfacePrev` actions, which treat the focused window
and any hidden windows as a ring that can be rotated through the focused position.
Export `rotateSome`, a pure function that rotates some elements around a stack
while keeping others anchored in place.
* `XMonad.Actions.Sift`
Provide `siftUp` and `siftDown` actions, which behave like `swapUp` and `swapDown`
but handle the wrapping case by exchanging the windows at either end of the stack
instead of rotating the stack.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicIcons`
Added Dynamic Strings as `dynamicLogIconWithPP` based on a Workspaces Windows
* `XMonad.Hooks.WindowSwallowing`
A handleEventHook that implements window swallowing:
Hide parent windows like terminals when opening other programs (like image viewers) from within them,
restoring them once the child application closes.
* `XMonad.Actions.TiledWindowDragging`
An action that allows you to change the position of windows by dragging them around.
* `XMonad.Layout.ResizableThreeColumns`
A layout based on `XMonad.Layout.ThreeColumns` but with each slave window's
height resizable.
* `XMonad.Layout.TallMastersCombo`
A layout combinator that support Shrink, Expand, and IncMasterN just as
the `Tall` layout, and also support operations of two master windows:
a main master, which is the original master window;
a sub master, the first window of the second pane.
This combinator can be nested, and has a good support for using
`XMonad.Layout.Tabbed` as a sublayout.
* `XMonad.Actions.PerWindowKeys`
Create actions that run on a `Query Bool`, usually associated with
conditions on a window, basis. Useful for creating bindings that are
excluded or exclusive for some windows.
* `XMonad.Util.DynamicScratchpads`
Declare any window as a scratchpad on the fly. Once declared, the
scratchpad behaves like `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad`.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Zsh`
A version of `XMonad.Prompt.Shell` that lets you use completions supplied by
zsh.
* `XMonad.Util.ClickableWorkspaces`
Provides `clickablePP`, which when applied to the `PP` pretty-printer used by
`XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar.PP`, will make the workspace tags clickable in XMobar
(for switching focus).
* `XMonad.Layout.VoidBorders`
Provides a modifier that semi-permanently (requires manual intervention)
disables borders for windows from the layout it modifies.
* `XMonad.Hooks.Focus`
Extends ManageHook EDSL to work on focused windows and current workspace.
* `XMonad.Config.LXQt`
This module provides a config suitable for use with the LXQt desktop
environment.
* `XMonad.Prompt.OrgMode`
A prompt for interacting with [org-mode](https://orgmode.org/). It
can be used to quickly save TODOs, NOTEs, and the like with the
additional capability to schedule/deadline a task, or use the
primary selection as the contents of the note.
* `XMonad.Util.ExtensibleConf`
Extensible and composable configuration for contrib modules. Allows
contrib modules to store custom configuration values inside `XConfig`.
This lets them create custom hooks, ensure they hook into xmonad core only
once, and possibly more.
* `XMonad.Hooks.Rescreen`
Custom hooks for screen (xrandr) configuration changes. These can be used
to restart/reposition status bars or systrays automatically after xrandr,
as well as to actually invoke xrandr or autorandr when an output is
(dis)connected.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* Add support for GHC 9.0.1.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups`
- Add support for `XMonad.Actions.TopicSpace` through `viewTopicGroup` and
`promptTopicGroupView`.
* `XMonad.Actions.TreeSelect`
- Fix swapped green/blue in foreground when using Xft.
- The spawned tree-select window now sets a `WM_CLASS` property.
This allows other applications, like compositors, to properly
match on it.
* `XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen`
- Add fullscreenSupportBorder which uses smartBorders to remove
window borders when the window is fullscreen.
* `XMonad.Config.Mate`
- Split out the logout dialog and add a shutdown dialog. The default behavior
remains the same but there are now `mateLogout` and `mateShutdown` actions
available.
- Add mod-d keybinding to open the Mate main menu.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
- The `changeProjectDirPrompt` function respects the `complCaseSensitivity` field
of `XPConfig` when performing directory completion.
- `modifyProject` is now exported.
* `XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir`
- The `changeDir` function respects the `complCaseSensitivity` field of `XPConfig`
when performing directory completion.
- `Chdir` message is exported, so it's now possible to change the
directory programmaticaly, not just via a user prompt.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Directory`
- Added `directoryMultipleModes'`, like `directoryMultipleModes` with an additional
`ComplCaseSensitivity` argument.
- Directory completions are now sorted.
- The `Dir` constructor now takes an additional `ComplCaseSensitivity`
argument to indicate whether directory completion is case sensitive.
* `XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch`
- `fuzzySort` will now accept cases where the input is not a subsequence of
every completion.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Shell`
- Added `getShellCompl'`, like `getShellCompl` with an additional `ComplCaseSensitivity`
argument.
- Added `compgenDirectories` and `compgenFiles` to get the directory/filename completion
matches returned by the compgen shell builtin.
- Added `safeDirPrompt`, which is like `safePrompt`, but optimized
for the use-case of a program that needs a file as an argument.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
- Reworked internally to call `spawnPipe` (asynchronous) instead of
`runProcessWithInput` (synchronous), which fixes `typeUnicodePrompt`.
- Now respects `searchPredicate` and `sorter` from user-supplied `XPConfig`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`
- Added `xmobarProp`, for property-based alternative to `xmobar`.
- Add the -dock argument to the dzen spawn arguments
- The API for this module is frozen: this is now a compatibility wrapper.
* `XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows`
- Added boring-aware `swapUp`, `swapDown`, `siftUp`, and `siftDown` functions.
- Added `markBoringEverywhere` function, to mark the currently
focused window boring on all layouts, when using `XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow`.
* `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad`
- Added two new exported functions to the module:
- `customRunNamedScratchpadAction`
(provides the option to customize the `X ()` action the scratchpad is launched by)
- `spawnHereNamedScratchpadAction`
(uses `XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn.spawnHere` to initially start the scratchpad on the workspace it was launched on)
- Deprecated `namedScratchpadFilterOutWorkspace` and
`namedScratchpadFilterOutWorkspacePP`. Use
`XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare.filterOutWs` respectively
`XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.filterOutWsPP` instead.
- Exported the `scratchpadWorkspaceTag`.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Window`
- Added `allApplications` function which maps application executable
names to its underlying window.
- Added a `WithWindow` constructor to `WindowPrompt` to allow executing
actions of type `Window -> X ()` on the chosen window.
* `XMonad.Prompt.WindowBringer`
- Added `windowApMap` function which maps application executable
names to its underlying window.
* `XMonad.Actions.Search`
- The `hoogle` function now uses the new URL `hoogle.haskell.org`.
- Added `promptSearchBrowser'` function to only suggest previous searches of
the selected search engine (instead of all search engines).
* `XMonad.Layout.MouseResizableTile`
- When we calculate dragger widths, we first try to get the border width of
the focused window, before failing over to using the initial `borderWidth`.
* `XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS`
- Added `cycleRecentNonEmptyWS` function which behaves like `cycleRecentWS`
but is constrainded to non-empty workspaces.
- Added `toggleRecentWS` and `toggleRecentNonEmptyWS` functions which toggle
between the current and most recent workspace, and continue to toggle back
and forth on repeated presses, rather than cycling through other workspaces.
- Added `recentWS` function which allows the recency list to be filtered with
a user-provided predicate.
* `XMonad.Layout.Hidden`
- Export `HiddenWindows` type constructor.
- Export `popHiddenWindow` function restoring a specific window.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks`
- Export `AvoidStruts` constructor
- Restored compatibility with pre-0.13 configs by making the startup hook
unnecessary for correct functioning (strut cache is initialized on-demand).
- Fixed ignoring of strut updates from override-redirect windows, which is
default for xmobar.
Previously, if one wanted xmobar to reposition itself after xrandr
changes and have xmonad handle that repositioning, one would need to
configure xmobar with `overrideRedirect = False`, which would disable
lowering on start and thus cause other problems. This is no longer
necessary.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers`
- Export `doSink`
- Added `doLower` and `doRaise`
- Added `shiftToSame` and `clientLeader` which allow a hook to be created
that shifts a window to the workspace of other windows of the application
(using either the `WM_CLIENT_LEADER` or `_NET_WM_PID` property).
- Added `windowTag`
* `XMonad.Util.EZConfig`
- Added support for XF86Bluetooth.
* `XMonad.Util.Loggers`
- Make `battery` and `loadAvg` distro-independent.
- Added `logTitleOnScreen`, `logCurrentOnScreen` and `logLayoutOnScreen`
as screen-specific variants of `logTitle`, `logCurrent` and `logLayout`.
- Added `logWhenActive` to have loggers active only when a certain
screen is active.
- Added `logConst` to log a constant `String`, and `logDefault` (infix: `.|`)
to combine loggers.
- Added `logTitles` to log all window titles (focused and unfocused ones).
* `XMonad.Layout.Minimize`
- Export `Minimize` type constructor.
* `XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames`
- Added `workspaceNamesListTransform` which makes workspace names visible
to external pagers.
* `XMonad.Util.PureX`
- Added `focusWindow` and `focusNth` which don't refresh (and thus
possibly flicker) when they happen to be a no-op.
* Several `LayoutClass` instances now have an additional `Typeable`
constraint which may break some advanced configs. The upside is that we
can now add `Typeable` to `LayoutClass` in `XMonad.Core` and make it
possible to introspect the current layout and its modifiers.
* `XMonad.Actions.TopicSpace`
- `switchTopic` now correctly updates the last used topics.
- `setLastFocusedTopic` will now check whether we have exceeded the
`maxTopicHistory` and prune the topic history as necessary, as well as
cons the given topic onto the list __before__ filtering it.
- Added `switchNthLastFocusedExclude`, which works like
`switchNthLastFocused` but is able to exclude certain topics.
- Added `switchTopicWith`, which works like `switchTopic`, but one is able
to give `setLastFocusedTopic` a custom filtering function as well.
- Instead of a hand-rolled history, use the one from
`XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`.
- Added the screen-aware functions `getLastFocusedTopicsByScreen` and
`switchNthLastFocusedByScreen`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
- Added `workspaceHistoryModify` to modify the workspace history with a pure
function.
- Added `workspaceHistoryHookExclude` for excluding certain
workspaces to ever enter the history.
* `XMonad.Util.DebugWindow`
- Fixed a bottom in `debugWindow` when used on windows with UTF8 encoded titles.
* `XMonad.Config.Xfce`
- Set `terminal` to `xfce4-terminal`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceCompare`
- Added `filterOutWs` for workspace filtering.
* `XMonad.Prompt`
- Accommodate completion of multiple words even when `alwaysHighlight` is
enabled.
- Made the history respect words that were "completed" by `alwaysHighlight`
upon confirmation of the selection by the user.
- Fixed a crash when focusing a new window while the prompt was up
by allowing pointer events to pass through the custom prompt event
loop.
- The prompt now cycles through its suggestions if one hits the ends
of the suggestion list and presses `TAB` again.
- Added `maxComplColumns` field to `XPConfig`, to limit the number of
columns in the completion window.
- Redefine `ComplCaseSensitivity` to a proper sum type as opposed to
a `newtype` wrapper around `Bool`.
* `XMonad.Actions.TreeSelect`
- Fixed a crash when focusing a new window while the tree select
window was up by allowing pointer events to pass through the
custom tree select event loop.
* `XMonad.Layout.NoBorders`
- Fixed handling of floating window borders in multihead setups that was
broken since 0.14.
* `XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook`
- It's now possible to clear urgency of selected windows only using the
newly exported `clearUrgents'` function. Also, this and `clearUrgents`
now clear the `_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION` bit as well.
- Added a variant of `filterUrgencyHook` that takes a generic `Query Bool`
to select which windows should never be marked urgent.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ServerMode`
- To make it easier to use, the `xmonadctl` client is now included in
`scripts/`.
* `XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating`
- Fixed a bug that prevented changing focus on inactive workspaces.
* `XMonad.Layout.Magnifier`
- Added `magnifierczOff` and `magnifierczOff'` for custom-size
magnifiers that start out with magnifying disabled.
- Added `magnify` as a more general combinator, including the
ability to postpone magnifying until there are a certain number of
windows on the workspace.
* `XMonad.Layout.Renamed`
- Added `KeepWordsLeft` and `KeepWordsRight` for keeping certain number of
words in left or right direction in layout description.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter`
- Added `defWPNamesPng`, which works like `defWPNames` but maps
`ws-name` to `ws-name.png` instead of `ws-name.jpg`.
- Added `defWPNamesJpg` as an alias to `defWPNames` and deprecated
the latter.
* `XMonad.Layout.SubLayouts`
- Floating windows are no longer moved to the end of the window stack.
* `XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition`
- Add the ability to increase/decrease the window size by a custom
rational number. E.g: `sendMessage $ ExpandTowardsBy L 0.02`
* `XMonad.Layout.Decoration`
- The decoration window now sets a `WM_CLASS` property. This allows
other applications, like compositors, to properly match on it.
## 0.16
### Breaking Changes
* `XMonad.Layout.Decoration`
- Added `Theme` record fields for controlling decoration border width for active/inactive/urgent windows.
* `XMonad.Prompt`
- Prompt ships a vim-like keymap, see `vimLikeXPKeymap` and
`vimLikeXPKeymap'`. A reworked event loop supports new vim-like prompt
actions.
- Prompt supports dynamic colors. Colors are now specified by the `XPColor`
type in `XPState` while `XPConfig` colors remain unchanged for backwards
compatibility.
- Fixes `showCompletionOnTab`.
- The behavior of `moveWord` and `moveWord'` has changed; brought in line
with the documentation and now internally consistent. The old keymaps
retain the original behavior; see the documentation to do the same your
XMonad configuration.
* `XMonad.Util.Invisble`
- Requires `MonadFail` for `Read` instance
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Layout.TwoPanePersistent`
A layout that is like TwoPane but keeps track of the slave window that is
currently beside the master. In TwoPane, the default behavior when the master
is focused is to display the next window in the stack on the slave pane. This
is a problem when a different slave window is selected without changing the stack
order.
* `XMonad.Util.ExclusiveScratchpads`
Named scratchpads that can be mutually exclusive: This new module extends the
idea of named scratchpads such that you can define "families of scratchpads"
that are exclusive on the same screen. It also allows to remove this
constraint of being mutually exclusive with another scratchpad.
* `XMonad.Actions.Prefix`
A module that allows the user to use an Emacs-style prefix
argument (raw or numeric).
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* `XMonad.Layout.Tabbed`
tabbedLeft and tabbedRight will set their tabs' height and width according to decoHeight/decoWidth
* `XMonad.Prompt`
Added `sorter` to `XPConfig` used to sort the possible completions by how
well they match the search string (example: `XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch`).
Fixes a potential bug where an error during prompt execution would
leave the window open and keep the keyboard grabbed. See issue
[#180](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/180).
Fixes [issue #217](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/217), where
using tab to wrap around the completion rows would fail when maxComplRows is
restricting the number of rows of output.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Pass`
Added 'passOTPPrompt' to support getting OTP type password. This require
pass-otp (https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp) has been setup in the running
machine.
Added 'passGenerateAndCopyPrompt', which both generates a new password and
copies it to the clipboard. These two actions are commonly desirable to
take together, e.g. when establishing a new account.
Made password prompts traverse symlinks when gathering password names for
autocomplete.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
Make the input directory read from the prompt in `DynamicProjects`
absolute wrt the current directory.
Before this, the directory set by the prompt was treated like a relative
directory. This means that when you switch from a project with directory
`foo` into a project with directory `bar`, xmonad actually tries to `cd`
into `foo/bar`, instead of `~/bar` as expected.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceOrder`
Add a version of `withNthWorkspace` that takes a `[WorkspaceId] ->
[WorkspaceId]` transformation to apply over the list of workspace tags
resulting from the dynamic order.
* `XMonad.Actions.GroupNavigation`
Add a utility function `isOnAnyVisibleWS :: Query Bool` to allow easy
cycling between all windows on all visible workspaces.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter`
Preserve the aspect ratio of wallpapers that xmonad sets. When previous
versions would distort images to fit the screen size, it will now find a
best fit by cropping instead.
* `XMonad.Util.Themes`
Add adwaitaTheme and adwaitaDarkTheme to match their respective
GTK themes.
* 'XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition'
Add a new `SplitShiftDirectional` message that allows moving windows by
splitting its neighbours.
* `XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch`
Make fuzzy sort show shorter strings first.
## 0.15
### Breaking Changes
* `XMonad.Layout.Groups` & `XMonad.Layout.Groups.Helpers`
The layout will no longer perform refreshes inside of its message handling.
If you have been relying on it to in your xmonad.hs, you will need to start
sending its messages in a manner that properly handles refreshing, e.g. with
`sendMessage`.
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Util.Purex`
Unlike the opaque `IO` actions that `X` actions can wrap, regular reads from
the `XConf` and modifications to the `XState` are fundamentally pure --
contrary to the current treatment of such actions in most xmonad code. Pure
modifications to the `WindowSet` can be readily composed, but due to the
need for those modifications to be properly handled by `windows`, other pure
changes to the `XState` cannot be interleaved with those changes to the
`WindowSet` without superfluous refreshes, hence breaking composability.
This module aims to rectify that situation by drawing attention to it and
providing `PureX`: a pure type with the same monadic interface to state as
`X`. The `XLike` typeclass enables writing actions generic over the two
monads; if pure, existing `X` actions can be generalised with only a change
to the type signature. Various other utilities are provided, in particular
the `defile` function which is needed by end-users.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* Add support for GHC 8.6.1.
* `XMonad.Actions.MessageHandling`
Refresh-performing functions updated to better reflect the new `sendMessage`.
## 0.14
### Breaking Changes
* `XMonad.Layout.Spacing`
Rewrite `XMonad.Layout.Spacing`. Borders are no longer uniform but composed
of four sides each with its own border width. The screen and window borders
are now separate and can be independently toggled on/off. The screen border
examines the window/rectangle list resulting from 'runLayout' rather than
the stack, which makes it compatible with layouts such as the builtin
`Full`. The child layout will always be called with the screen border. If
only a single window is displayed (and `smartBorder` enabled), it will be
expanded into the original layout rectangle. Windows that are displayed but
not part of the stack, such as those created by 'XMonad.Layout.Decoration',
will be shifted out of the way, but not scaled (not possible for windows
created by XMonad). This isn't perfect, so you might want to disable
`Spacing` on such layouts.
* `XMonad.Util.SpawnOnce`
- Added `spawnOnOnce`, `spawnNOnOnce` and `spawnAndDoOnce`. These are useful in startup hooks
to shift spawned windows to a specific workspace.
* Adding handling of modifySpacing message in smartSpacing and smartSpacingWithEdge layout modifier
* `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect`
- Added field `gs_bordercolor` to `GSConfig` to specify border color.
* `XMonad.Layout.Minimize`
Though the interface it offers is quite similar, this module has been
almost completely rewritten. The new `XMonad.Actions.Minimize` contains
several functions that allow interaction with minimization window state.
If you are using this module, you must upgrade your configuration to import
`X.A.Minimize` and use `maximizeWindow` and `withLastMinimized` instead of
sending messages to `Minimized` layout. `XMonad.Hooks.RestoreMinimized` has
been completely deprecated, and its functions have no effect.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
- `unicodePrompt :: String -> XPConfig -> X ()` now additionally takes a
filepath to the `UnicodeData.txt` file containing unicode data.
* `XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreens`
`getScreen`, `viewScreen`, `sendToScreen`, `onNextNeighbour`, `onPrevNeighbour` now need a extra parameter
of type `ScreenComparator`. This allow the user to specify how he want his screen to be ordered default
value are:
- `def`(same as verticalScreenOrderer) will keep previous behavior
- `verticalScreenOrderer`
- `horizontalScreenOrderer`
One can build his custom ScreenOrderer using:
- `screenComparatorById` (allow to order by Xinerama id)
- `screenComparatorByRectangle` (allow to order by screen coordonate)
- `ScreenComparator` (allow to mix ordering by screen coordonate and xinerama id)
* `XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare`
`getXineramaPhysicalWsCompare` now need a extra argument of type `ScreenComparator` defined in
`XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreens` (see changelog of this module for more information)
* `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops`
- Simplify ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom, and remove the gnome-panel specific
remapping of all visible windows to the active workspace (#216).
- Handle workspace renames that might be occuring in the custom function
that is provided to ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`
- Support xmobar's \<action> and \<raw> tags; see `xmobarAction` and
`xmobarRaw`.
* `XMonad.Layout.NoBorders`
The layout now maintains a list of windows that never have borders, and a
list of windows that always have borders. Use `BorderMessage` to manage
these lists and the accompanying event hook (`borderEventHook`) to remove
destroyed windows from them. Also provides the `hasBorder` manage hook.
Two new conditions have been added to `Ambiguity`: `OnlyLayoutFloat` and
`OnlyLayoutFloatBelow`; `OnlyFloat` was renamed to `OnlyScreenFloat`. See
the documentation for more information.
The type signature of `hiddens` was changed to accept a new `Rectangle`
parameter representing the bounds of the parent layout, placed after the
`WindowSet` parameter. Anyone defining a new instance of `SetsAmbiguous`
will need to update their configuration. For example, replace "`hiddens amb
wset mst wrs =`" either with "`hiddens amb wset _ mst wrs =`" or to make
use of the new parameter with "`hiddens amb wset lr mst wrs =`".
* `XMonad.Actions.MessageFeedback`
- Follow the naming conventions of `XMonad.Operations`. Functions returning
`X ()` are named regularly (previously these ended in underscore) while
those returning `X Bool` are suffixed with an uppercase 'B'.
- Provide all `X Bool` and `SomeMessage` variations for `sendMessage` and
`sendMessageWithNoRefresh`, not just `sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent`
(renamed from `send`).
- The new `tryInOrderB` and `tryMessageB` functions accept a parameter of
type `SomeMessage -> X Bool`, which means you are no longer constrained
to the behavior of the `sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent` dispatcher.
- The `send*Messages*` family of funtions allows for sequencing arbitrary
sets of messages with minimal refresh. It makes little sense for these
functions to support custom message dispatchers.
- Remain backwards compatible. Maintain deprecated aliases of all renamed
functions:
- `send` -> `sendMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB`
- `sendSM` -> `sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB`
- `sendSM_` -> `sendSomeMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent`
- `tryInOrder` -> `tryInOrderWithNoRefreshToCurrentB`
- `tryInOrder_` -> `tryInOrderWithNoRefreshToCurrent`
- `tryMessage` -> `tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrentB`
- `tryMessage_` -> `tryMessageWithNoRefreshToCurrent`
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Layout.MultiToggle.TabBarDecoration`
Provides a simple transformer for use with `XMonad.Layout.MultiToggle` to
dynamically toggle `XMonad.Layout.TabBarDecoration`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.RefocusLast`
Provides hooks and actions that keep track of recently focused windows on a
per workspace basis and automatically refocus the last window on loss of the
current (if appropriate as determined by user specified criteria).
* `XMonad.Layout.StateFull`
Provides `StateFull`: a stateful form of `Full` that does not misbehave when
floats are focused, and the `FocusTracking` layout transformer by means of
which `StateFull` is implemented. `FocusTracking` simply holds onto the last
true focus it was given and continues to use it as the focus for the
transformed layout until it sees another. It can be used to improve the
behaviour of a child layout that has not been given the focused window.
* `XMonad.Actions.SwapPromote`
Module for tracking master window history per workspace, and associated
functions for manipulating the stack using such history.
* `XMonad.Actions.CycleWorkspaceByScreen`
A new module that allows cycling through previously viewed workspaces in the
order they were viewed most recently on the screen where cycling is taking
place.
Also provides the `repeatableAction` helper function which can be used to
build actions that can be repeated while a modifier key is held down.
* `XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch`
Provides a predicate `fuzzyMatch` that is much more lenient in matching
completions in `XMonad.Prompt` than the default prefix match. Also provides
a function `fuzzySort` that allows sorting the fuzzy matches by "how well"
they match.
* `XMonad.Utils.SessionStart`
A new module that allows to query if this is the first time xmonad is
started of the session, or a xmonad restart.
Currently needs manual setting of the session start flag. This could be
automated when this moves to the core repository.
* `XMonad.Actions.EasyMotion`
A new module that allows selection of visible screens using a key chord.
Inspired by [vim-easymotion](https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion). See the animation
in the vim-easymotion repo to get some idea of the functionality of this
EasyMotion module.
* `XMonad.Layout.MultiDishes`
A new layout based on Dishes, however it accepts additional configuration
to allow multiple windows within a single stack.
* `XMonad.Util.Rectangle`
A new module for handling pixel rectangles.
* `XMonad.Layout.BinaryColumn`
A new module which provides a simple grid layout, halving the window
sizes of each window after master.
This is similar to Column, but splits the window in a way
that maintains window sizes upon adding & removing windows as well as the
option to specify a minimum window size.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* `XMonad.Layout.Grid`
Fix as per issue #223; Grid will no longer calculate more columns than there
are windows.
* `XMonad.Hooks.FadeWindows`
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* `XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter`
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* `XMonad.Hooks.Mosaic`
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* `XMonad.Actions.Navigation2D`
Added `sideNavigation` and a parameterised variant, providing a navigation
strategy with fewer quirks for tiled layouts using X.L.Spacing.
* `XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen`
The fullscreen layouts will now not render any window that is totally
obscured by fullscreen windows.
* `XMonad.Layout.Gaps`
Extended the sendMessage interface with `ModifyGaps` to allow arbitrary
modifications to the `GapSpec`.
* `XMonad.Layout.Groups`
Added a new `ModifyX` message type that allows the modifying
function to return values in the `X` monad.
* `XMonad.Actions.Navigation2D`
Generalised (and hence deprecated) hybridNavigation to hybridOf.
* `XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints`
Preserve the window order of the modified layout, except for the focused
window that is placed on top. This fixes an issue where the border of the
focused window in certain situations could be rendered below borders of
unfocused windows. It also has a lower risk of interfering with the
modified layout.
* `XMonad.Layout.MultiColumns`
The focused window is placed above the other windows if they would be made to
overlap due to a layout modifier. (As long as it preserves the window order.)
* `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect`
- The vertical centring of text in each cell has been improved.
* `XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn`
- Bind windows spawns by child processes of the original window to the same
workspace as the original window.
* `XMonad.Util.WindowProperties`
- Added the ability to test if a window has a tag from
`XMonad.Actions.TagWindows`
* `XMonad.Layout.Magnifier`
- Handle `IncMasterN` messages.
* `XMonad.Util.EZConfig`
- Can now parse Latin1 keys, to better accommodate users with
non-US keyboards.
* `XMonad.Actions.Submap`
Establish pointer grab to avoid freezing X, when button press occurs after
submap key press. And terminate submap at button press in the same way,
as we do for wrong key press.
* `XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName`
Add function `getWMName`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers`
- Make type of ManageHook combinators more general.
- New manage hook `doSink` for sinking windows (as upposed to the `doFloat` manage hook)
* `XMonad.Prompt`
Export `insertString`.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Window`
- New function: `windowMultiPrompt` for using `mkXPromptWithModes`
with window prompts.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
- Now supports per screen history.
* `XMonad.Layout.ComboP`
- New `PartitionWins` message to re-partition all windows into the
configured sub-layouts. Useful when window properties have
changed and you want to re-sort windows into the appropriate
sub-layout.
* `XMonad.Actions.Minimize`
- Now has `withFirstMinimized` and `withFirstMinimized'` so you can perform
actions with both the last and first minimized windows easily.
* `XMonad.Config.Gnome`
- Update logout key combination (modm+shift+Q) to work with modern
* `XMonad.Prompt.Pass`
- New function `passTypePrompt` which uses `xdotool` to type in a password
from the store, bypassing the clipboard.
- New function `passEditPrompt` for editing a password from the
store.
- Now handles password labels with spaces and special characters inside
them.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
- Persist unicode data cache across XMonad instances due to
`ExtensibleState` now used instead of `unsafePerformIO`.
- `typeUnicodePrompt :: String -> XPConfig -> X ()` provided to insert the
Unicode character via `xdotool` instead of copying it to the paste buffer.
- `mkUnicodePrompt :: String -> [String] -> String -> XPConfig -> X ()`
acts as a generic function to pass the selected Unicode character to any
program.
* `XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile`
- New function `appendFilePrompt'` which allows for transformation of the
string passed by a user before writing to a file.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`
- Added a new function `dzenWithFlags` which allows specifying the arguments
passed to `dzen2` invocation. The behaviour of current `dzen` function is
unchanged.
* `XMonad.Util.Dzen`
- Now provides functions `fgColor` and `bgColor` to specify foreground and
background color, `align` and `slaveAlign` to set text alignment, and
`lineCount` to enable a second (slave) window that displays lines beyond
the initial (title) one.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`
- Added optional `ppVisibleNoWindows` to differentiate between empty
and non-empty visible workspaces in pretty printing.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceOrder`
- Added `updateName` and `removeName` to better control ordering when
workspace names are changed or workspaces are removed.
* `XMonad.Config.Azerty`
* Added `belgianConfig` and `belgianKeys` to support Belgian AZERTY
keyboards, which are slightly different from the French ones in the top
row.
## 0.13 (February 10, 2017)
### Breaking Changes
* The type of `completionKey` (of `XPConfig` record) has been
changed from `KeySym` to `(KeyMask, KeySym)`. The default value
for this is still bound to the `Tab` key.
* New constructor `CenteredAt Rational Rational` added for
`XMonad.Prompt.XPPosition`.
* `XMonad.Prompt` now stores its history file in the XMonad cache
directory in a file named `prompt-history`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks` now requires an additional startup hook to be
added to configuration in addition to the other 3 hooks, otherwise docks
started before xmonad are covered by windows. It's recommended to use the
newly introduced `docks` function to add all necessary hooks to xmonad
config.
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Layout.SortedLayout`
A new LayoutModifier that sorts a given layout by a list of
properties. The order of properties in the list determines
the order of windows in the final layout. Any unmatched windows
go to the end of the order.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
A prompt to search a unicode character by its name, and put it into the
clipboard.
* `XMonad.Util.Ungrab`
Release xmonad's keyboard and pointer grabs immediately, so
screen grabbers and lock utilities, etc. will work. Replaces
the short sleep hackaround.
* `XMonad.Util.Loggers.NamedScratchpad`
A collection of Loggers (see `XMonad.Util.Loggers`) for NamedScratchpads
(see `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad`).
* `XMonad.Util.NoTaskbar`
Utility function and `ManageHook` to mark a window to be ignored by
EWMH taskbars and pagers. Useful for `NamedScratchpad` windows, since
you will usually be taken to the `NSP` workspace by them.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks`
- Fix a very annoying bug where taskbars/docs would be
covered by windows.
- Also fix a bug that caused certain Gtk and Qt application to
have issues displaying menus and popups.
* `XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilder`
Merge all functionality from `XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilderP` into
`XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilder`.
* `XMonad.Actions.WindowGo`
- Fix `raiseNextMaybe` cycling between 2 workspaces only.
* `XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer`
- Fix bug when cursor gets stuck in one of the corners.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
- Switching away from a dynamic project that contains no windows
automatically deletes that project's workspace.
The project itself was already being deleted, this just deletes
the workspace created for it as well.
- Added function to change the working directory (`changeProjectDirPrompt`)
- All of the prompts are now multiple mode prompts. Try using the
`changeModeKey` in a prompt and see what happens!
## 0.12 (December 14, 2015)
### Breaking Changes
* `XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer.updatePointer` arguments were
changed. This allows including aspects of both of the
`TowardsCentre` and `Relative` methods. To keep the same behavior,
replace the entry in the left column with the entry on the right:
| < 0.12 | >= 0.12 |
|-------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| `updatePointer Nearest` | `updatePointer (0.5, 0.5) (1,1)` |
| `updatePointer (Relative x y)` | `updatePointer (x,y) (0,0)` |
| `updatePointer (TowardsCentre x y)` | `updatePointer (0.5,0.5) (x,y)` |
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Actions.AfterDrag`
Perform an action after the current mouse drag is completed.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
Imbues workspaces with additional features so they can be treated
as individual project areas.
* `XMonad.Actions.LinkWorkspaces`
Provides bindings to add and delete links between workspaces. It
is aimed at providing useful links between workspaces in a
multihead setup. Linked workspaces are viewed at the same time.
* `XMonad.Config.Bepo`
This module fixes some of the keybindings for the francophone
among you who use a BEPO keyboard layout. Based on
`XMonad.Config.Azerty`
* `XMonad.Config.Dmwit`
Daniel Wagner's configuration.
* `XMonad.Config.Mate`
This module provides a config suitable for use with the MATE
desktop environment.
* `XMonad.Config.Prime`
A draft of a brand new config syntax for xmonad.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicProperty`
Module to apply a `ManageHook` to an already-mapped window when a
property changes. This would commonly be used to match browser
windows by title, since the final title will only be set after (a)
the window is mapped, (b) its document has been loaded, (c) all
load-time scripts have run.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDebug`
A `manageHook` and associated `logHook` for debugging `ManageHook`s.
Simplest usage: wrap your xmonad config in the `debugManageHook`
combinator. Or use `debugManageHookOn` for a triggerable version,
specifying the triggering key sequence in `XMonad.Util.EZConfig`
syntax. Or use the individual hooks in whatever way you see fit.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter`
Log hook which changes the wallpapers depending on visible
workspaces.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
Keeps track of workspace viewing order.
* `XMonad.Layout.AvoidFloats`
Find a maximum empty rectangle around floating windows and use
that area to display non-floating windows.
* `XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition`
Layout where new windows will split the focused window in half,
based off of BSPWM.
* `XMonad.Layout.Dwindle`
Three layouts: The first, `Spiral`, is a reimplementation of
`XMonad.Layout.Spiral.spiral` with, at least to me, more intuitive
semantics. The second, `Dwindle`, is inspired by a similar layout
in awesome and produces the same sequence of decreasing window
sizes as Spiral but pushes the smallest windows into a screen
corner rather than the centre. The third, `Squeeze` arranges all
windows in one row or in one column, with geometrically decreasing
sizes.
* `XMonad.Layout.Hidden`
Similar to `XMonad.Layout.Minimize` but completely removes windows
from the window set so `XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows` isn't
necessary. Perfect companion to `XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition`
since it can be used to move windows to another part of the BSP tree.
* `XMonad.Layout.IfMax`
Provides `IfMax` layout, which will run one layout if there are
maximum `N` windows on workspace, and another layout, when number
of windows is greater than `N`.
* `XMonad.Layout.PerScreen`
Configure layouts based on the width of your screen; use your
favorite multi-column layout for wide screens and a full-screen
layout for small ones.
* `XMonad.Layout.Stoppable`
This module implements a special kind of layout modifier, which when
applied to a layout, causes xmonad to stop all non-visible processes.
In a way, this is a sledge-hammer for applications that drain power.
For example, given a web browser on a stoppable workspace, once the
workspace is hidden the web browser will be stopped.
* `XMonad.Prompt.ConfirmPrompt`
A module for setting up simple confirmation prompts for
keybindings.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Pass`
This module provides 3 `XMonad.Prompt`s to ease passwords
manipulation (generate, read, remove) via [pass][].
* `XMonad.Util.RemoteWindows`
This module implements a proper way of finding out whether the
window is remote or local.
* `XMonad.Util.SpawnNamedPipe`
A module for spawning a pipe whose `Handle` lives in the xmonad state.
* `XMonad.Util.WindowState`
Functions for saving per-window data.
### Miscellaneous Changes
* Fix issue #9: `XMonad.Prompt.Shell` `searchPredicate` is ignored,
defaults to `isPrefixOf`
* Fix moveHistory when alwaysHighlight is enabled
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups` now exports `addRawWSGroup`
* Side tabs were added to the tabbed layout
* `XMonad/Layout/IndependentScreens` now exports `marshallSort`
* `XMonad/Hooks/UrgencyHook` now exports `clearUrgency`
* Exceptions are now caught when finding commands on `PATH` in `Prompt.Shell`
* Switched to `Data.Default` wherever possible
* `XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens` now exports `whenCurrentOn`
* `XMonad.Util.NamedActions` now exports `addDescrKeys'`
* EWMH `DEMANDS_ATTENTION` support added to `UrgencyHook`
* New `useTransientFor` modifier in `XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating`
* Added the ability to remove arbitrary workspaces
## 0.9 (October 26, 2009)
### Updates that Require Changes in `xmonad.hs`
* `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops` no longer uses `layoutHook`, the
`ewmhDesktopsLayout` modifier has been removed from
xmonad-contrib. It uses `logHook`, `handleEventHook`, and
`startupHook` instead and provides a convenient function `ewmh` to
add EWMH support to a `defaultConfig`.
* Most `DynamicLog` users can continue with configs unchanged, but
users of the quickbar functions `xmobar` or `dzen` will need to
change `xmonad.hs`: their types have changed to allow easier
composition with other `XConfig` modifiers. The `dynamicLogDzen`
and `dynamicLogXmobar` functions have been removed.
* `WindowGo` or `safeSpawn` users may need to change command lines
due to `safeSpawn` changes.
* People explicitly referencing the "SP" scratchpad workspace should
change it to "NSP" which is also used by the new
`Util.NamedScratchpad` module.
* (Optional) People who explicitly use `swapMaster` in key or mouse
bindings should change it to `shiftMaster`. It's the current
default used where `swapMaster` had been used previously. It works
better than `swapMaster` when using floating and tiled windows
together on the same workspace.
