My xmonad Configuration

I really like awesome but would love to write configs in haskell instead of lua.

You should also install:

Usage

Clone this repo to somewhere like ~/.config/xmonad/.
In ~/.profile set XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR to this folder.
Log out & in to reload .profile & run xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart.

While developing, you can run stack build --file-watch.

Things Awesome does that I like:

Keyboard shortcut popup
On click tag selection
Multiple tag viewing, Clients on multiple tags
Better Floating Placement when using keyboard toggle
Floating layout
Maximizable floating windows
- Add custom maximize function, checks if window floating, if so adds to floating set(in ExtensibleState), unfloats, & maximizes. When un-maximized, float & re-position.
Configure & launch hs-notifications from xmonad
Layout icons
MPD Widget
Click window in taskbar to minimize/restore
Minimize windows
Increase / Decrease Column Count
Jump to Urgent - make it change focused screen if necessary
ncmpcpp dropdown (Util.Scratchpad)
Keep on Top keybinding
Mod-RightMouseBtn to resize master width
Shell Prompt below the status bar instead of overlaid on top
Equal spacing to each window in status bar.

Extra things I want it to do:

Quick note taking to a file (Prompt.AppendFile)
- Maybe different modes for different lists, eg. shopping list, notes, todo list
Quick access to calculator
Native systray & notifications
Native randomized wallpaper changes? Or just keep using feh-bg.
Supervise & re-start statusbar/notification threads: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/threads-supervisor-1.1.0.0/docs/Control-Concurrent-Supervisor-Tutorial.html
Proper dynamic tagging + autotagging new windows (sometimes assigned tags get fucked in awesome)
- Need to write custom XMonad.Prompt that will use DynamicWorkspaces extension to add new workspaces w/ names as expected by IndependentScreens extension. Not sure how to make dynamic keybindings to switch to newly created workspaces.
Jump to window prompt w/ autocomplete
Workspace-specific positioning on init
- Gimp: Put image in center & toolbars to left & right side, all floating.
- Audio: non-mixer & jamin stacked on left, Claudia on right
Project-specific workspaces that open terminals and run commands
- SESE Website: Open main term w/ server/client vim & file tabs, another term w/ files & server repl tabs, & third term with build script, move palemoon & chromium to appropriate screens.
