# Documentation

data X a #

The X monad, `ReaderT` and `StateT` transformers over `IO` encapsulating the window manager configuration and state, respectively.

Dynamic components may be retrieved with `get`, static components with `ask`. With newtype deriving we get readers and state monads instantiated on `XConf` and `XState` automatically.

class Show (layout a) => LayoutClass layout a where #

Every layout must be an instance of `LayoutClass`, which defines the basic layout operations along with a sensible default for each.

Minimal complete definition:

- `runLayout` || ((`doLayout` || `pureLayout`) && `emptyLayout`), and
- `handleMessage` || `pureMessage`

You should also strongly consider implementing `description`, although it is not required.

Note that any code which uses `LayoutClass` methods should only ever call `runLayout`, `handleMessage`, and `description`! In other words, the only calls to `doLayout`, `pureMessage`, and other such methods should be from the default implementations of `runLayout`, `handleMessage`, and so on. This ensures that the proper methods will be used, regardless of the particular methods that any `LayoutClass` instance chooses to define.

Methods

runLayout :: Workspace WorkspaceId (layout a) a -> Rectangle -> X ([(a, Rectangle)], Maybe (layout a)) #

By default, `runLayout` calls `doLayout` if there are any windows to be laid out, and `emptyLayout` otherwise. Most instances of `LayoutClass` probably do not need to implement `runLayout`; it is only useful for layouts which wish to make use of more of the `Workspace` information (for example, XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace).

doLayout :: layout a -> Rectangle -> Stack a -> X ([(a, Rectangle)], Maybe (layout a)) #

Given a `Rectangle` in which to place the windows, and a `Stack` of windows, return a list of windows and their corresponding Rectangles. If an element is not given a Rectangle by `doLayout`, then it is not shown on screen. The order of windows in this list should be the desired stacking order.

Also possibly return a modified layout (by returning `Just newLayout`), if this layout needs to be modified (e.g. if it keeps track of some sort of state). Return `Nothing` if the layout does not need to be modified.

Layouts which do not need access to the `X` monad (`IO`, window manager state, or configuration) and do not keep track of their own state should implement `pureLayout` instead of `doLayout`.

pureLayout :: layout a -> Rectangle -> Stack a -> [(a, Rectangle)] #

This is a pure version of `doLayout`, for cases where we don't need access to the `X` monad to determine how to lay out the windows, and we don't need to modify the layout itself.

emptyLayout :: layout a -> Rectangle -> X ([(a, Rectangle)], Maybe (layout a)) #

`emptyLayout` is called when there are no windows.

handleMessage :: layout a -> SomeMessage -> X (Maybe (layout a)) #

`handleMessage` performs message handling. If `handleMessage` returns `Nothing`, then the layout did not respond to the message and the screen is not refreshed. Otherwise, `handleMessage` returns an updated layout and the screen is refreshed.

Layouts which do not need access to the `X` monad to decide how to handle messages should implement `pureMessage` instead of `handleMessage` (this restricts the risk of error, and makes testing much easier).

pureMessage :: layout a -> SomeMessage -> Maybe (layout a) #

Respond to a message by (possibly) changing our layout, but taking no other action. If the layout changes, the screen will be refreshed.

description :: layout a -> String #

This should be a human-readable string that is used when selecting layouts by name. The default implementation is `show`, which is in some cases a poor default.

The class `Typeable` allows a concrete representation of a type to be calculated.

Minimal complete definition

typeRep#

class Typeable a => Message a #

Based on ideas in /An Extensible Dynamically-Typed Hierarchy of Exceptions/, Simon Marlow, 2006. Use extensible messages to the `handleMessage` handler.

User-extensible messages must be a member of this class.

data SomeMessage #

A wrapped value of some type in the `Message` class.

fromMessage :: Message m => SomeMessage -> Maybe m #

And now, unwrap a given, unknown `Message` type, performing a (dynamic) type check on the result.

data StateExtension #

Existential type to store a state extension.

Constructors

ExtensionClass a => StateExtension a | Non-persistent state extension
(Read a, Show a, ExtensionClass a) => PersistentExtension a | Persistent extension

class Typeable a => ExtensionClass a where #

Every module must make the data it wants to store an instance of this class.

Minimal complete definition: initialValue

Minimal complete definition

initialValue

Methods

initialValue :: a #

Defines an initial value for the state extension

extensionType :: a -> StateExtension #

Specifies whether the state extension should be persistent. Setting this method to `PersistentExtension` will make the stored data survive restarts, but requires a to be an instance of Read and Show.

It defaults to `StateExtension`, i.e. no persistence.

runX :: XConf -> XState -> X a -> IO (a, XState) #

Run the `X` monad, given a chunk of `X` monad code, and an initial state Return the result, and final state

catchX :: X a -> X a -> X a #

Run in the `X` monad, and in case of exception, and catch it and log it to stderr, and run the error case.

userCode :: X a -> X (Maybe a) #

Execute the argument, catching all exceptions. Either this function or `catchX` should be used at all callsites of user customized code.

userCodeDef :: a -> X a -> X a #

Same as userCode but with a default argument to return instead of using Maybe, provided for convenience.

io :: MonadIO m => IO a -> m a #

General utilities

Lift an `IO` action into the `X` monad

catchIO :: MonadIO m => IO () -> m () #

Lift an `IO` action into the `X` monad. If the action results in an `IO` exception, log the exception to stderr and continue normal execution.

installSignalHandlers :: MonadIO m => m () #

Ignore SIGPIPE to avoid termination when a pipe is full, and SIGCHLD to avoid zombie processes, and clean up any extant zombie processes.

uninstallSignalHandlers :: MonadIO m => m () #

withDisplay :: (Display -> X a) -> X a #

Run a monad action with the current display settings

withWindowSet :: (WindowSet -> X a) -> X a #

Run a monadic action with the current stack set

isRoot :: Window -> X Bool #

True if the given window is the root window

runOnWorkspaces :: (WindowSpace -> X WindowSpace) -> X () #

This is basically a map function, running a function in the `X` monad on each workspace with the output of that function being the modified workspace.

getAtom :: String -> X Atom #

Wrapper for the common case of atom internment

spawn :: MonadIO m => String -> m () #

spawn. Launch an external application. Specifically, it double-forks and runs the `String` you pass as a command to /bin/sh.

Note this function assumes your locale uses utf8.

spawnPID :: MonadIO m => String -> m ProcessID #

Like `spawn`, but returns the `ProcessID` of the launched application

xfork :: MonadIO m => IO () -> m ProcessID #

A replacement for `forkProcess` which resets default signal handlers.

recompile :: MonadIO m => Bool -> m Bool #

'recompile force', recompile the xmonad configuration file when any of the following apply:

- force is `True`
- the xmonad executable does not exist
- the xmonad executable is older than xmonad.hs or any file in the `lib` directory (under the configuration directory).

The -i flag is used to restrict recompilation to the xmonad.hs file only, and any files in the aforementioned `lib` directory.

Compilation errors (if any) are logged to the `xmonad.errors` file in the xmonad data directory. If GHC indicates failure with a non-zero exit code, an xmessage displaying that file is spawned.

`False` is returned if there are compilation errors.

trace :: MonadIO m => String -> m () #

A `trace` for the `X` monad. Logs a string to stderr. The result may be found in your .xsession-errors file

whenJust :: Monad m => Maybe a -> (a -> m ()) -> m () #

Conditionally run an action, using a `Maybe a` to decide.

whenX :: X Bool -> X () -> X () #

Conditionally run an action, using a `X` event to decide

getXMonadDir :: MonadIO m => m String #

Return the path to the xmonad configuration directory. This directory is where user configuration files are stored (e.g, the xmonad.hs file). You may also create a `lib` subdirectory in the configuration directory and the default recompile command will add it to the GHC include path.

Several directories are considered. In order of preference:

1. The directory specified in the `XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable.
2. The `~/.xmonad` directory.
3. The `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmonad` directory.

The first directory that exists will be used. If none of the directories exist then (1) will be used if it is set, otherwise (2) will be used. Either way, a directory will be created if necessary.

getXMonadCacheDir :: MonadIO m => m String #

Return the path to the xmonad cache directory. This directory is used to store temporary files that can easily be recreated. For example, the XPrompt history file.

Several directories are considered. In order of preference:

1. The directory specified in the `XMONAD_CACHE_DIR` environment variable.
2. The `~/.xmonad` directory.
3. The `XDG_CACHE_HOME/xmonad` directory.

The first directory that exists will be used. If none of the directories exist then (1) will be used if it is set, otherwise (2) will be used. Either way, a directory will be created if necessary.

getXMonadDataDir :: MonadIO m => m String #

Return the path to the xmonad data directory. This directory is used by XMonad to store data files such as the run-time state file and the configuration binary generated by GHC.

Several directories are considered. In order of preference:

1. The directory specified in the `XMONAD_DATA_DIR` environment variable.
2. The `~/.xmonad` directory.
3. The `XDG_DATA_HOME/xmonad` directory.

The first directory that exists will be used. If none of the directories exist then (1) will be used if it is set, otherwise (2) will be used. Either way, a directory will be created if necessary.

stateFileName :: (Functor m, MonadIO m) => m FilePath #

Get the name of the file used to store the xmonad window state.
