XMonad.Prompt.Email

Contents

- Usage

Description

A prompt for sending quick, one-line emails, via the standard GNU 'mail' utility (which must be in your $PATH). This module is intended mostly as an example of using XMonad.Prompt.Input to build an action requiring user input.

Synopsis

- emailPrompt :: XPConfig -> [String] -> X ()

# Usage

You can use this module by importing it, along with XMonad.Prompt, into your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file:

    import XMonad.Prompt
    import XMonad.Prompt.Email

and adding an appropriate keybinding, for example:

     , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_e), emailPrompt def addresses)

where `addresses` is a list of email addresses that should autocomplete, for example:

    addresses = ["me@me.com", "mr@big.com", "tom.jones@foo.bar"]

You can still send email to any address, but sending to these addresses will be faster since you only have to type a few characters and then hit 'tab'.

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.

emailPrompt :: XPConfig -> [String] -> X ()

Prompt the user for a recipient, subject, and body, and send an email via the GNU 'mail' utility. The second argument is a list of addresses for autocompletion.
