Changes mean:
* gmrun is like the dmenu key, but with shift set.
- , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_F11 ), spawn "gmrun")
+ , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_p ), spawn "gmrun")
If no one actually uses both gmrun and dmenu, we should consider only
using mod-p for this.
* restart is like quit, but with 'ctrl' set:
+ , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_q ), io $ exitWith ExitSuccess)
+ , ((modMask .|. shiftMask .|. controlMask, xK_q ), io restart)
* revert to 'wer' ordering for xinerama screens:
- | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_e, xK_r, xK_t] [1..]
+ | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [1..]
that's the only binding order that makes sense, since they're meant to
refer to screens 1 2 and 3, hence 'wer' (look at the keyboard to see why)
xmonad : a lightweight X11 window manager.
Motivation:
dwm is great, but we can do better, building a more robust,
more correct window manager in fewer lines of code, using strong
static typing. Enter Haskell.
If the aim of dwm is to fit in under 2000 lines of C, the aim of
xmonad is to fit in under 400 lines of Haskell with similar functionality.
Building:
Get the dependencies
X11 http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/X11-1.2
(Unfortunately X11-1.2 does not work correctly on AMD64. The latest
darcs version from http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/X11 does.)
mtl http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mtl-1.0
unix http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/unix-2.0 (included with ghc)
X11-extras: darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/X11-extras
dmenu 2.{5,6,7} http://www.suckless.org/download/dmenu-2.7.tar.gz
And then build with Cabal:
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=/home/dons
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
runhaskell Setup.lhs install
Then add:
exec /home/dons/bin/xmonad
to the last line of your .xsession file
