XMonad.Hooks.ScreenCorners

Contents

- Usage
- Adding screen corners
- Event hook
- Layout hook

Description

Run `X ()` actions by touching the edge of your screen with your mouse.

Synopsis

- data ScreenCorner
  - = SCUpperLeft
  - | SCUpperRight
  - | SCLowerLeft
  - | SCLowerRight
- addScreenCorner :: ScreenCorner -> X () -> X ()
- addScreenCorners :: [(ScreenCorner, X ())] -> X ()
- screenCornerEventHook :: Event -> X All
- screenCornerLayoutHook :: l a -> ModifiedLayout ScreenCornerLayout l a

# Usage

This extension adds KDE-like screen corners to XMonad. By moving your cursor into one of your screen corners you can trigger an `X ()` action, for example `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect.goToSelected` or `XMonad.Actions.CycleWS.nextWS` etc.

To use it, import it on top of your `xmonad.hs`:

    import XMonad.Hooks.ScreenCorners

Then add your screen corners in our startup hook:

    myStartupHook = do
        ...
        addScreenCorner SCUpperRight (goToSelected defaultGSConfig { gs_cellwidth = 200})
        addScreenCorners [ (SCLowerRight, nextWS)
                         , (SCLowerLeft,  prevWS)
                         ]

Then add layout hook: > myLayout = screenCornerLayoutHook $ tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full where > tiled = Tall nmaster delta ratio > nmaster = 1 > ratio = 1 / 2 > delta = 3 / 100

And finally wait for screen corner events in your event hook:

    myEventHook e = do
        ...
        screenCornerEventHook e
