XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames
Description
Provides bindings to rename workspaces, show these names in a status bar and swap workspaces along with their names. These names survive restart. Together with XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir this provides for a fully dynamic topic space workflow.
Synopsis
- renameWorkspace :: XPConfig -> X ()
- getWorkspaceNames' :: X (WorkspaceId -> Maybe String)
- getWorkspaceNames :: String -> X (String -> WindowSpace -> String)
- getWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> X (Maybe String)
- getCurrentWorkspaceName :: X (Maybe String)
- setWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> String -> X ()
- setCurrentWorkspaceName :: String -> X ()
- swapTo :: Direction1D -> X ()
- swapTo' :: Direction1D -> WSType -> X ()
- swapWithCurrent :: WorkspaceId -> X ()
- workspaceNamePrompt :: XPConfig -> (WorkspaceId -> X ()) -> X ()
- workspaceNamesPP :: PP -> X PP
- workspaceNamesEwmh :: XConfig l -> XConfig l
Usage
You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file:
import XMonad.Actions.WorkspaceNames
Then add keybindings like the following:
, ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_r ), renameWorkspace def)
and apply workspaceNamesPP to your pretty-printer:
myPP = workspaceNamesPP xmobarPP
Check XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar for more information on how to incorprate this into your status bar.
To expose workspace names to pagers and other EWMH clients, integrate this with XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops:
main = xmonad $ … . workspaceNamesEwmh . ewmh . … $ def{…}We also provide a modification of XMonad.Actions.SwapWorkspaces's functionality, which may be used this way:
, ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Left ), swapTo Prev) , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Right ), swapTo Next)
[((modm .|. controlMask, k), swapWithCurrent i)
| (i, k) <- zip workspaces [xK_1 ..]]For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.
Workspace naming
renameWorkspace :: XPConfig -> X () Source #
Prompt for a new name for the current workspace and set it.
getWorkspaceNames' :: X (WorkspaceId -> Maybe String) Source #
Returns a lookup function that maps workspace tags to workspace names.
getWorkspaceNames :: String -> X (String -> WindowSpace -> String) Source #
Returns a function for ppRename that appends sep and the workspace
name, if set.
getWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> X (Maybe String) Source #
Gets the name of a workspace, if set, otherwise returns nothing.
getCurrentWorkspaceName :: X (Maybe String) Source #
Gets the name of the current workspace. See getWorkspaceName
setWorkspaceName :: WorkspaceId -> String -> X () Source #
Sets the name of a workspace. Empty string makes the workspace unnamed again.
setCurrentWorkspaceName :: String -> X () Source #
Sets the name of the current workspace. See setWorkspaceName.
Workspace swapping
swapTo' :: Direction1D -> WSType -> X () Source #
Swap with the previous or next workspace of the given type.
swapWithCurrent :: WorkspaceId -> X () Source #
See swapWithCurrent. This is almost the
same with names.
Workspace prompt
workspaceNamePrompt :: XPConfig -> (WorkspaceId -> X ()) -> X () Source #
Same behavior than workspacePrompt excepted it acts on the workspace name provided by this module.
StatusBar, EwmhDesktops integration
workspaceNamesPP :: PP -> X PP Source #
Modify PP's pretty-printing format to show
workspace names as well.
workspaceNamesEwmh :: XConfig l -> XConfig l Source #
Tell XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops to append workspace names to desktop names.
