Description

A layout that combines multiple layouts and allows to specify where to put new windows.

- data CombineTwoP l (l1 :: Type -> Type) (l2 :: Type -> Type) a

# Usage

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

    import XMonad.Layout.ComboP

and add something like

    combineTwoP (TwoPane 0.03 0.5) (tabbed shrinkText def) (tabbed shrinkText def) (ClassName "Firefox")

to your layouts. This way all windows with class = "Firefox" will always go to the left pane, all others - to the right.

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see the tutorial and XMonad.Doc.Extending.

`combineTwoP` is a simple layout combinator based on `combineTwo` from Combo, with addition of a `Property` which tells where to put new windows. Windows mathing the property will go into the first part, all others will go into the second part. It supports `Move` messages as `combineTwo` does, but it also introduces `SwapWindow` message which sends focused window to the other part. It is required because `Move` commands don't work when one of the parts is empty. To use it, import "XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation", and add the following key bindings (or something similar):

       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), sendMessage $ Move R)
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Left ), sendMessage $ Move L)
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Up   ), sendMessage $ Move U)
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Down ), sendMessage $ Move D)
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_s    ), sendMessage $ SwapWindow)

For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see the tutorial.

data SwapWindow #

Constructors

SwapWindow | Swap window between panes
SwapWindowN Int | Swap window between panes in the N-th nested ComboP. `SwapWindowN 0` equals to SwapWindow

Constructors

PartitionWins | Reset the layout and partition all windows into the correct sub-layout. Useful for when window properties have changed and you want ComboP to update which layout a window belongs to.
