XMonad.Actions.LinkWorkspaces

Description

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 view at the same time.

Synopsis

- switchWS :: (WorkspaceId -> X ()) -> MessageConfig -> WorkspaceId -> X ()
- removeAllMatchings :: MessageConfig -> X ()
- unMatch :: WorkspaceId -> X ()
- toggleLinkWorkspaces :: MessageConfig -> X ()
- defaultMessageConf :: MessageConfig
- data MessageConfig = MessageConfig {
  - messageFunction :: ScreenId -> [Char] -> [Char] -> [Char] -> X ()
  - foreground :: [Char]
  - alertedForeground :: [Char]
  - background :: [Char]
  }

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `xmonad.hs` file:

    import XMonad.Actions.LinkWorkspaces

and add a function to print messages like

    message_command (S screen) = " dzen2 -p 1 -w 300 -xs " ++ show (screen + 1)
    message_color_func c1 c2 msg = dzenColor c1 c2 msg
    message screen c1 c2 msg = spawn $ "echo '" ++ (message_color_func c1 c2 msg) ++ "' | " ++ message_command screen

alternatively you can use the noMessages function as the argument

Then add keybindings like the following:

    ,((modm, xK_p), toggleLinkWorkspaces message)
    ,((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_p), removeAllMatchings message)

      [ ((modm .|. m, k), a i)
          | (a, m) <- [(switchWS (\y -> windows $ view y) message, 0),(switchWS (\x -> windows $ shift x . view x) message, shiftMask)]
          , (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9]]

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see the tutorial.

switchWS :: (WorkspaceId -> X ()) -> MessageConfig -> WorkspaceId -> X () #

removeAllMatchings :: MessageConfig -> X () #

Remove all maps between workspaces

unMatch :: WorkspaceId -> X () #

remove all matching regarding a given workspace

toggleLinkWorkspaces :: MessageConfig -> X () #

Toggle the currently displayed workspaces as matching. Starting from the one with focus | a linked list of workspaces is created that will later be iterated by switchToMatching.

defaultMessageConf :: MessageConfig #

data MessageConfig #
