2024-06-14 00:00:07 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I'm running XMonad without any sort of DE |
2024-06-14 00:00:27 +0200 | <geekosaur> | because I open like 8 `sxiv` windows (still trying to reproduce https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/753) and I don't want them clogging my taskbar |
2024-06-14 00:02:28 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the XMonad.Desktop hierarchy provides support for xmonad as WM for a number of desktops. read the wiki because you generally need to reconfigure the DE to use xmonad; for example https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_MATE |

2024-06-14 00:04:11 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Got it. So I'd probably have to modify my Pretty Printer to explicitly exclude those. |

2024-06-14 05:31:51 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> geekosaur: Is there a better way to provide types for layouts than just listing out everything?!?! Or is the answer that I just need to cry? |
2024-06-14 05:31:53 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | ... long message truncated: https://kf8nh.com/_matrix/media/v3/download/kf8nh.com/KBZQKAtOElBBlOyBBAoZIwYd (3 lines) |
2024-06-14 05:32:16 +0200 | <geekosaur> | cry, or make an LSP client do it for you |
2024-06-14 05:32:40 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Got it... I'm not gonna specify types for this. |
2024-06-14 05:32:58 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Also, why did the haskell bridge react to that message? |
2024-06-14 05:33:04 +0200 | <geekosaur> | (sadly, while they'll happily write out the type signature, they don't add the imports needed for it to work) |
2024-06-14 05:33:38 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I know what you mean. I'm just not gonna add the type signature there... |
2024-06-14 05:33:47 +0200 | <geekosaur> | one emote means it split it into separate lines for IRC, the other means it was too long so it pastebinned it |
2024-06-14 05:34:08 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Oh? Is this channel bridged to IRC? |
2024-06-14 05:34:18 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yes |

2024-06-14 05:42:25 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Where's the default layoutHook defined? |
2024-06-14 05:43:24 +0200 | <geekosaur> | https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/master/src/XMonad/Config.hs#L135-L149 |
2024-06-14 05:45:07 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I mainly just wanted to have the default values for Tall, because I like those defaults. |
2024-06-14 05:46:29 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Do I need to have any special imports to get the Tall, Mirrored, and Full data constructors in scope, or are those defaults? |
2024-06-14 05:46:53 +0200 | <geekosaur> | you should get those with `import XMonad` |
2024-06-14 05:47:36 +0200 | <geekosaur> | which re-exports everything exported by the core modules, except for XMonad.StackSet which collides with Prelude functions (by convention we import that qualified as W when needed) |
2024-06-14 05:48:10 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Why do we use W? Why is that the letter we use? |
2024-06-14 05:49:05 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I think you'd have to ask Spencer about that |
2024-06-14 05:49:21 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I think he's in #haskell:matrix.org as @SpencerJanssen |
2024-06-14 05:49:41 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Is it work it to use X.L.WindowNavigation ? |
2024-06-14 05:50:08 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> s/work/worth |
2024-06-14 05:52:31 +0200 | <geekosaur> | depends. I don't, but I usually don't have enough visible windows in a workspace to justify it |
2024-06-14 05:57:26 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I'm wanting to use X.L.Combo, which advocates using X.L.WindowNavigation for some reason... |
2024-06-14 05:58:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | that's so you can easily move windows between panes |
2024-06-14 05:58:50 +0200 | <geekosaur> | by binding keys to send Move messages |
2024-06-14 05:59:43 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the alternative is to use ComboP, which lets you automatically assign windows to panes using what amounts to a ManageHook |
2024-06-14 06:00:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | (WindowNavigation is what defines and implements Move) |
2024-06-14 06:09:40 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Wait... actually, I do want ComboP. |
2024-06-14 06:10:48 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Why does ComboP also advocate for WindowNavigation? |
2024-06-14 06:10:57 +0200 | geekosaur | is heading to bed soon… past midnight and he got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night |
2024-06-14 06:12:14 +0200 | <geekosaur> | because you might want to move a window later |
2024-06-14 06:13:05 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Oh... I thought ComboP forced you to have all matching windows in the Master Pane. |
2024-06-14 06:13:40 +0200 | <geekosaur> | only at first |
2024-06-14 06:14:35 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> That's the part I was missing. Thanks. |
2024-06-14 06:14:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | when a new window appears, windows that match the Property will go to the master, others to the slave. if you also include WindowNavigation then you can arbitrarily move windows afterward |
2024-06-14 06:32:41 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> If I want to send a message to just one of the sub-layouts in a ComboP layout? How can I do that? It looks like ComboP sends messages to the super layout and both sub-layouts. https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Layout/ComboP.hs#L127 |

2024-06-14 18:01:24 +0200 | <geekosaur> | someone recently asked where the code for generating that diagram was and we couldn't find it |
2024-06-14 18:01:58 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I know it at least used to be out there, because it was used to add the mod-shift-/ binding back in 0.9 |

2024-06-14 21:00:07 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@senju_hashirama:aria-net.org)> i wish we have a repo listing a lot of user's config, so we could look up what people have done so far |
2024-06-14 21:00:27 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@senju_hashirama:aria-net.org)> this would mitigate (partially) the problem of "how i do X or Y?" |
2024-06-14 21:51:21 +0200 | <geekosaur> | we had one but it's bitrotted (https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Config_archive). there's a stalled ticket on updating it (https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/160) |
2024-06-14 21:59:02 +0200 | <haskellbridge> | <柱間 (@senju_hashirama:aria-net.org)> thanks |
2024-06-14 22:02:44 +0200 | <geekosaur> | the main developers (liskin, Solid, and myself) have links to our configs in the README. (if you think mine's complex, wait until you see liskin's…) |
2024-06-14 22:04:22 +0200 | <geekosaur> | iqubic: it wraps messages intended for sublayouts. you send a wrapped message, and modify (or wrap) the sublayout to unescape it |
2024-06-14 22:04:28 +0200 | <geekosaur> | it's not especially friendly |
2024-06-14 22:04:48 +0200 | <geekosaur> | but the interaction of layouts and messages is a somewhat tricky part of xmonad |
