| 2022-08-07 01:30:20 +0200 | <theliver[m]> | Restarted the display manager and everything works correctly. Maybe it was the old state file messing things up. |

| 2022-08-07 11:46:40 +0200 | <liskin> | also it depends on the layouts, some haven't changed much others did |

| 2022-08-07 12:14:20 +0200 | <theliver[m]> | It works correctly at startup, however upon a restart (of xmonad) I get the same issue. Debugging this now and indeed it seems `pureLayout` is returning a `Rectangle` that has an incorrect width. |
| 2022-08-07 13:36:14 +0200 | <theliver[m]> | Ah seems to have been due to a fix of how dock panels are 'avoided' due to desktopLayoutModifiers. As I have a panel that shows/hides in the middle of the screen, my windows/screen was being resized to avoid that. So easy fix to just remove desktopLayoutModifiers. :) |

| 2022-08-07 16:26:46 +0200 | <diep> | Hi, I just switched to topics, and for some topics I would like to use font icons (through a nerd font) for topic name. But it fails to compile > "lexical error in string/character literal at character '\985015'" there is something I missed? |
| 2022-08-07 16:27:47 +0200 | <geekosaur> | ghc doesn't like literal characters for various things (notably private use area characters), you have to use escapes |
| 2022-08-07 16:28:23 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | 1. It is caused by misconfiguration or missing configuration in my xmonad.hs |
| 2022-08-07 16:28:23 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | 2. It isn't caused by myDecorate, windowNavigation, subTabbed, boringWindows, reflectHoriz |
| 2022-08-07 16:29:33 +0200 | <geekosaur> | > generalCategory '\985015' |
| 2022-08-07 16:29:35 +0200 | <lambdabot> | PrivateUse |
| 2022-08-07 16:29:56 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yeh, ghc will reject that as a literal character |
| 2022-08-07 16:32:37 +0200 | <diep> | hmm okay thx, but the strange thing is I was used to name my workspaces with icons, and Im pretty sure I didnt need to write the names using escapes |
| 2022-08-07 16:32:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it depends on the category |
| 2022-08-07 16:33:10 +0200 | <geekosaur> | ghc will accept most things but not private use |
| 2022-08-07 16:33:47 +0200 | <diep> | Is "category" something haskell langage related? |
| 2022-08-07 16:34:03 +0200 | <geekosaur> | no, it's defined by unicode |
| 2022-08-07 16:35:28 +0200 | <diep> | humm okay |
| 2022-08-07 16:35:36 +0200 | <geekosaur> | but the haskell language standard defines characters in terms of their unicode category, and private use can't really be defined since ghc has no idea how to treat such characters |
| 2022-08-07 16:36:04 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I did at one point request that they be accepted in Char or String literals but that would comp-licate the lexer too much to only accept them there |
| 2022-08-07 16:36:39 +0200 | <diep> | yeah but again this is weird, because this same icon doesnt cause compilation error when used with workspace |
| 2022-08-07 16:36:59 +0200 | <diep> | and based on what you explained, it should cause error |
| 2022-08-07 16:37:11 +0200 | <diep> | with workspace as well |
| 2022-08-07 16:38:14 +0200 | <geekosaur> | again it depends on the category. ghc is fine with smileys, for example, or dingbats, because they both have well defined categories |
| 2022-08-07 16:38:22 +0200 | <geekosaur> | private use area characters don't |
| 2022-08-07 16:38:32 +0200 | <geekosaur> | they're just private use |
| 2022-08-07 16:39:09 +0200 | <geekosaur> | > generalCategory '😛' |

| 2022-08-07 16:45:49 +0200 | <geekosaur> | zim0369[m], why do you havfe both xmobarProp and withEasySB? |
| 2022-08-07 16:47:32 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | the docs |
| 2022-08-07 16:48:25 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | under "Changing what xmonad sends to xmobar" |
| 2022-08-07 16:48:26 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html |
| 2022-08-07 16:48:52 +0200 | <geekosaur> | right, it first sets you up with xmobarProp and then it *replaces* it with withEasySB |
| 2022-08-07 16:48:59 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it does not *add* it |
| 2022-08-07 16:49:14 +0200 | <geekosaur> | they will interfere with each other |
| 2022-08-07 16:50:13 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | oh yes i was lost |

| 2022-08-07 16:54:30 +0200 | <diep> | sorry guys but I fails to use `generalCategory` in my topics declaration, what I tested is `inHome (generalCategory '\985015') spawnShell` but I get a compile error |
| 2022-08-07 16:54:57 +0200 | <diep> | Couldn't match type ‘GeneralCategory’ with ‘[Char]’ |
| 2022-08-07 17:07:14 +0200 | <diep> | geekosaur ? |
| 2022-08-07 17:09:07 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure what you mean. but no, generalCaegory doesn't produce a String |
| 2022-08-07 17:09:14 +0200 | <geekosaur> | :t generalCategory |
| 2022-08-07 17:09:15 +0200 | <lambdabot> | Char -> GeneralCategory |
| 2022-08-07 17:10:26 +0200 | <diep> | I'm asking how to use it in my topic declaration |
| 2022-08-07 17:10:51 +0200 | <diep> | I want the name of the topic to be that icon "ó°ž·" |
| 2022-08-07 17:11:08 +0200 | <diep> | and you told me to use `generalCategory '\985015'` for it |
| 2022-08-07 17:11:15 +0200 | <diep> | so that's why I tested |
| 2022-08-07 17:11:29 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I don't think you need generalCategory there, you just need to use the escape sequence (in decimal like that, or in hex with \x...) in the string |
| 2022-08-07 17:11:49 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I used generalCategory just to verify that it was a PUA character |
| 2022-08-07 17:13:44 +0200 | <diep> | oh ok I misinterpreted |
| 2022-08-07 17:14:07 +0200 | <diep> | `inHome "\985015" spawnShell` works fine ;) |

| 2022-08-07 22:23:26 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | okay i commented out even that |

| 2022-08-07 22:23:41 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | nothing |
| 2022-08-07 22:23:49 +0200 | <geekosaur> | oh, that link didn;t make it to my phone matrix instance for some reason |

| 2022-08-07 22:24:50 +0200 | <geekosaur> | that's correct as far as it goes, byt myEasySB adds a few more hooks |
| 2022-08-07 22:25:37 +0200 | <geekosaur> | sorry withEasySB |
| 2022-08-07 22:26:40 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | i replaced that with `xmobarProp` that didn't work |
| 2022-08-07 22:26:41 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it should be okay to comment out the hooks although you may lose some other things |
| 2022-08-07 22:27:18 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | yes, at the moment most of the stuff i customized has been commented out. it's pretty close to vanilla except for the keybindings |

| 2022-08-07 22:28:53 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | i've rearranged the file. main function at the bottom. I'll also try that config on my other machine |
| 2022-08-07 22:32:19 +0200 | <geekosaur> | commenting out docks and avoidStruts can only break things worse, xmobar would be covered up by any other window |
| 2022-08-07 22:37:14 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | uncommented them |
| 2022-08-07 22:37:19 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | still same |
| 2022-08-07 22:43:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | https://paste.tomsmeding.com/fesccPQb is a really minimal config that should work with xmobar |
| 2022-08-07 22:44:18 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I ignored the avoidStruts for now since no windows would be opened by it |
| 2022-08-07 22:45:15 +0200 | <geekosaur> | https://paste.tomsmeding.com/ycuTbThn with the avoidStruts |
| 2022-08-07 22:45:26 +0200 | <geekosaur> | if this doesn't work then you really have a problem somewhere |
| 2022-08-07 22:45:49 +0200 | <geekosaur> | but that somewhere won't be xmonad because there's nothing to go wrong there |
| 2022-08-07 22:48:23 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | geekosaur: do you want me to change those lines or edit those lines in my file accordingly? |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:06 +0200 | <geekosaur> | that is a complete xmonad.hs. copy your existing one somewhere and use that file as your xmonad.hs |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:23 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it's very minimal so there should be nothing to go wrong |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:25 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | no need |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | aside from possibly a PATH issue finding xmobar |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:44 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I probably mentioned it to you that |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:48 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | my xmobar works with my old config |
| 2022-08-07 22:49:53 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | but not with the new one |
| 2022-08-07 22:50:20 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | but now i have an interesting find |
| 2022-08-07 22:50:21 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | on my another machine |
| 2022-08-07 22:50:25 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | the commented out config i sent you works |
| 2022-08-07 22:50:49 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I'm going to check my full new config again and brb with the results |

| 2022-08-07 23:26:40 +0200 | mc47 | (~mc47@xmonad/TheMC47) (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 2022-08-07 23:29:47 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | geekosaur: problem solved |
| 2022-08-07 23:29:59 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | There's something wrong with my system itslef |
| 2022-08-07 23:30:04 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | itself* |
| 2022-08-07 23:30:23 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I tried my xmonad config on my other machine with packages from aur |
| 2022-08-07 23:30:47 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | and it worked |
| 2022-08-07 23:31:21 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | now on my problematic machine i removed all the git xmonad stuff and installed from aur as i did on my other machine but still no success |
| 2022-08-07 23:32:12 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | so i will reinstall my arch |
| 2022-08-07 23:32:27 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | or rather install endeavorOS to not have to go through all the hassle |
| 2022-08-07 23:32:53 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Thankyou geekosaur you've helped me a lot. A lot! |
| 2022-08-07 23:33:00 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | now I have a really amazing config |
| 2022-08-07 23:33:05 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | thanks to you guys |
| 2022-08-07 23:33:38 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | btw, the only thing i crave is jumping to layouts without having to cycle through them. hope we get to see that in xmonad soon. |
| 2022-08-07 23:34:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | in what sense not cycling through them? JumpToLayout still cycles through them but you don';t see it |
| 2022-08-07 23:34:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "Full" |
| 2022-08-07 23:35:32 +0200 | <geekosaur> | just make sure to use the layout description as shown by xmobar, or use X.L.Renamed to name the layout so you know what it is |
| 2022-08-07 23:36:26 +0200 | <geekosaur> | if you're on 0.17 or later then you can just import XMonad.Layout.LayoutHelpers to get it; on 0.15 and earlier there's a hoop to jump through |
| 2022-08-07 23:37:16 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I mean suppose |
| 2022-08-07 23:37:21 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I have 3 layouts |
| 2022-08-07 23:38:02 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Full, tiled and 3col |
| 2022-08-07 23:38:11 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | And i have a binding mod+space that cycles through myLayouts |
| 2022-08-07 23:38:43 +0200 | <geekosaur> | right, so then you could have a binding to sendMessage $ JumpToLayout "ThreeColumn" |
| 2022-08-07 23:38:45 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I want to put only two layouts in myLayouts -> tiled and 3col |
| 2022-08-07 23:39:10 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | While i want to switch to full layout directly with mod+f |
| 2022-08-07 23:39:16 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | That possible? |
| 2022-08-07 23:39:19 +0200 | <geekosaur> | alternately you can assign layouts to workspaces (see X.L.PerWorkspace) |
| 2022-08-07 23:39:42 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you still need it in the layout. why not just put it at the end and JumpToLayout it? |
| 2022-08-07 23:40:34 +0200 | <[Leary]> | It's annoying to have layout cycling pass through layouts you don't want it to. |
| 2022-08-07 23:40:37 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | So if i have to switch from 3col to tiled |
| 2022-08-07 23:40:53 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Then ill have to cycle through full |
| 2022-08-07 23:41:09 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Annoying |
| 2022-08-07 23:41:46 +0200 | <geekosaur> | looking at the code, `setLayout $ Layout Full` *might* work. problem there is you necessarily lose the other layouts because you've just overwritten them |
| 2022-08-07 23:41:50 +0200 | logzet | (~quassel@2001:9e8:e503:e800:dabb:c1ff:fed3:a1b9) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |
| 2022-08-07 23:41:57 +0200 | <geekosaur> | what magic did you expect that would undo it for you? |
| 2022-08-07 23:42:59 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | I think it's a necessary feat. |
| 2022-08-07 23:43:03 +0200 | <geekosaur> | cabal repl likes it here |
| 2022-08-07 23:43:33 +0200 | <geekosaur> | so it sould have a magic place to save your layout so it should somehow know without being told that you want a different layout instead |
| 2022-08-07 23:43:48 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Btw geekosaur @geekosaur:libera.chat: have u tried instantwm? |
| 2022-08-07 23:44:51 +0200 | <geekosaur> | haven't run anything but xmonad since 2006 |
| 2022-08-07 23:44:53 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | It is a wm from instantOS. You should take a look once. |
| 2022-08-07 23:45:14 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Btw, night geekosaur |
| 2022-08-07 23:45:23 +0200 | <zim0369[m]> | Im exhausted today |
| 2022-08-07 23:45:30 +0200 | <geekosaur> | so under what conditions is xmonad supposed to know to pull out the old list of layouts that you forcibly overwrote with setLayout? |
| 2022-08-07 23:46:43 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it would be possible to define a key sequence to force the layout back to its original shape. there is no way to have mod-space do that *and* cycle between layouts |
| 2022-08-07 23:46:59 +0200 | <geekosaur> | becuase it would never proceed past the first layout. |
| 2022-08-07 23:47:37 +0200 | <geekosaur> | maybe you could hack something up with ExtensibleState to know when you've forced Full and that it should unforce it instead of cycling |
| 2022-08-07 23:49:37 +0200 | <[Leary]> | No need to hack around; might as well just write the layout combinator. |
| 2022-08-07 23:50:33 +0200 | <geekosaur> | ToggleLayouts exists, I think. I'm just not sure it's what he(?) wants |
| 2022-08-07 23:50:45 +0200 | <geekosaur> | also MultiToggle |
| 2022-08-07 23:52:44 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I'm also not sure PerWorkspace or similar isn't a better solution |
| 2022-08-07 23:55:52 +0200 | <[Leary]> | I'm fairly sure they just want to toggle to and from an alternative layout without it cramping their regular layout cycling. I didn't know about X.L.ToggleLayouts; that's probably it. |
| 2022-08-07 23:56:39 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I also wonder about, say, Magnify with a small border |
