XMonad.Layout.Hidden

Contents

- Usage

Description

Similar to XMonad.Layout.Minimize but completely removes windows from the window set so XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows isn't necessary. Perfect companion to XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition since it can be used to move windows to another part of the BSP tree.

Synopsis

- data HiddenMsg
  - = HideWindow Window
  - | PopNewestHiddenWindow
  - | PopOldestHiddenWindow
- hiddenWindows :: LayoutClass l Window => l Window -> ModifiedLayout HiddenWindows l Window
- hideWindow :: Window -> X ()
- popOldestHiddenWindow :: X ()
- popNewestHiddenWindow :: X ()

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

    import XMonad.Layout.Hidden

Then edit your `layoutHook` by adding the `HiddenWindows` layout modifier:

    myLayout = hiddenWindows (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc..
    main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending

In the key bindings, do something like:

           , ((modMask, xK_backslash), withFocused hideWindow)
           , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_backslash), popOldestHiddenWindow)
           ...

For detailed instruction on editing the key bindings see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending.

PopOldestHiddenWindow | Restore window (FIFO).

Instances

Eq HiddenMsg # |
Methods (==) :: HiddenMsg -> HiddenMsg -> Bool # (/=) :: HiddenMsg -> HiddenMsg -> Bool #
Message HiddenMsg # |

hiddenWindows :: LayoutClass l Window => l Window -> ModifiedLayout HiddenWindows l Window #

Apply the `HiddenWindows` layout modifier.

hideWindow :: Window -> X () #

Remove the given window from the current layout. It is placed in list of hidden windows so it can be restored later.

popOldestHiddenWindow :: X () #

Restore a previously hidden window. Using this function will treat the list of hidden windows as a FIFO queue. That is, the first window hidden will be restored.

popNewestHiddenWindow :: X () #

Restore a previously hidden window. Using this function will treat the list of hidden windows as a FILO queue. That is, the most recently hidden window will be restored.
