XMonad.Actions.MostRecentlyUsed

Description

Based on the Alt+Tab behaviour common outside of xmonad.

Synopsis

Usage

configureMRU must be applied to your config in order for mostRecentlyUsed to work.

main :: IO ()
main = xmonad . configureMRU . ... $ def
  { ...
  }

Once that's done, it can be used normally in keybinds:

, ((mod1Mask, xK_Tab), mostRecentlyUsed [xK_Alt_L, xK_Alt_R] xK_Tab)

N.B.: This example assumes that mod1Mask corresponds to alt, which is not always the case, depending on how your system is configured.

Interface

configureMRU :: XConfig l -> XConfig l Source #

Configure xmonad to support mostRecentlyUsed.

mostRecentlyUsed Source #

:: [KeySym]

The KeySyms corresponding to the modifier to which the action is bound.

-> KeySym

The KeySym corresponding to the key to which the action is bound.

-> X () 

An action to browse through the history of focused windows, taking another step back with each tap of the key. Press Escape to cancel the selection and return whence you came.

withMostRecentlyUsed Source #

Arguments

:: [KeySym]

The KeySyms corresponding to the modifier to which the action is bound.

-> KeySym

The KeySym corresponding to the key to which the action is bound.

-> (Window -> Location -> X ())

The function applied to each window.

-> X () 

A version of mostRecentlyUsed that allows you to customise exactly what is done with each window you tab through (the default being to visit its previous Location and give it focus).
