My xmonad Configuration

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

You should also install:

  • libxpm - status bar icons
  • trayer - system tray
  • mpc - control MPD
  • scrot - screenshots

Screenshot

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.

TODO:

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.
