XMonad.Actions.MostRecentlyUsed

- Interface

Description

Based on the Alt+Tab behaviour common outside of xmonad.

Synopsis

- configureMRU :: forall (l :: Type -> Type). XConfig l -> XConfig l
- mostRecentlyUsed :: [KeySym] -> KeySym -> X ()
- withMostRecentlyUsed :: [KeySym] -> KeySym -> (Window -> Location -> X ()) -> X ()
- data Location = Location {
  - workspace :: !WorkspaceId
  - screen :: !ScreenId
  }

# Usage

`configureMRU` must be applied to your config in order for `mostRecentlyUsed` to work.

    main :: IO ()
    main = xmonad . configureMRU . ... $ def
      { ...
      }

Once that's done, it can be used normally in keybinds:

    , ((mod1Mask, xK_Tab), mostRecentlyUsed [xK_Alt_L, xK_Alt_R] xK_Tab)

N.B.: This example assumes that `mod1Mask` corresponds to alt, which is not always the case, depending on how your system is configured.

# Interface

configureMRU :: forall (l :: Type -> Type). XConfig l -> XConfig l #

Configure xmonad to support `mostRecentlyUsed`.

mostRecentlyUsed #

Arguments

:: [KeySym] | The `KeySym`s corresponding to the modifier to which the action is bound.
-> KeySym | The `KeySym` corresponding to the key to which the action is bound.
-> X () |

An action to browse through the history of focused windows, taking another step back with each tap of the key.

withMostRecentlyUsed #

Arguments

:: [KeySym] | The `KeySym`s corresponding to the modifier to which the action is bound.
-> KeySym | The `KeySym` corresponding to the key to which the action is bound.
-> (Window -> Location -> X ()) | The function applied to each window.
-> X () |

A version of `mostRecentlyUsed` that allows you to customise exactly what is done with each window you tab through (the default being to visit its previous `Location` and give it focus).
