Description

A module for launch applicationes that receive parameters in the command line. The launcher call a prompt to get the parameters.

Synopsis

- launchApp :: XPConfig -> Application -> X ()
- data XPConfig
- mkXPrompt :: XPrompt p => p -> XPConfig -> ComplFunction -> (String -> X ()) -> X ()
- class XPrompt t where
  - showXPrompt :: t -> String
- type Application = String
- data AppPrompt

# Usage

This module is intended to allow the launch of the same application but changing the parameters using the user response. For example, when you want to open a image in gimp program, you can open gimp and then use the File Menu to open the image or you can use this module to select the image in the command line.

We use Prompt to get the user command line. This also allow to autoexpand the names of the files when we are writing the command line.

launchApp :: XPConfig -> Application -> X () #

Get the user's response to a prompt an launch an application using the input as command parameters of the application.

data XPConfig #

Instance details Defined in XMonad.Prompt Methods def :: XPConfig #

mkXPrompt :: XPrompt p => p -> XPConfig -> ComplFunction -> (String -> X ()) -> X () #

Creates a prompt given:

- a prompt type, instance of the `XPrompt` class.
- a prompt configuration (`def` can be used as a starting point)
- a completion function (`mkComplFunFromList` can be used to create a completions function given a list of possible completions)
- an action to be run: the action must take a string and return `X` ()

class XPrompt t where #

A class for an abstract prompt. In order for your data type to be a valid prompt you _must_ make it an instance of this class.

The minimal complete definition is just `showXPrompt`, i.e. the name of the prompt. This string will be displayed in the command line window (before the cursor).

As an example of a complete `XPrompt` instance definition, we can look at the `Shell` prompt from XMonad.Prompt.Shell:

        data Shell = Shell

        instance XPrompt Shell where
             showXPrompt Shell = "Run: "

Methods

showXPrompt :: t -> String #

This method is used to print the string to be displayed in the command line window.

# Use case: launching gimp with file

First, you need to import necessary modules. Prompt is used to get the promp configuration and the AppLauncher module itself.

    import XMonad.Prompt
    import XMonad.Prompt.AppLauncher as AL

Then you can add the bindings to the applications.

    ...
    , ((modm, xK_g), AL.launchApp def "gimp" )
    , ((modm, xK_g), AL.launchApp def "evince" )
    ...

# Types

type Application = String #

data AppPrompt #
