# My xmonad Configuration

I really like awesome but would love to write configs in haskell instead of

lua.

You should also install:

* `libxpm` - status bar icons

* `trayer` - system tray

* `mpc` - control MPD

* `scrot` - screenshots

![Screenshot](screenshot.png)

## Usage

* Clone this repo to somewhere like `~/.config/xmonad/`.

* In `~/.profile` set `XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR` to this folder.

* Log out & in to reload `.profile` & run `xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart`.

While developing, you can run `stack build --file-watch`.

## TODO:

Things Awesome does that I like:

* Keyboard shortcut popup

* On click tag selection

* Multiple tag viewing, Clients on multiple tags

* Better Floating Placement when using keyboard toggle

* Floating layout

* Maximizable floating windows

    * Add custom maximize function, checks if window floating, if so adds to

      floating set(in ExtensibleState), unfloats, & maximizes. When

      un-maximized, float & re-position.

* Configure & launch hs-notifications from xmonad

* Layout icons

* MPD Widget

* Click window in taskbar to minimize/restore

* Minimize windows

* Increase / Decrease Column Count

* Jump to Urgent - make it change focused screen if necessary

* ncmpcpp dropdown  (Util.Scratchpad)

* Keep on Top keybinding

* Mod-RightMouseBtn to resize master width

* Shell Prompt below the status bar instead of overlaid on top

* Equal spacing to each window in status bar.

Extra things I want it to do:

* Quick note taking to a file   (Prompt.AppendFile)

    * Maybe different modes for different lists, eg. shopping list, notes, todo

      list

* Quick access to calculator

* Native systray & notifications

* Native randomized wallpaper changes? Or just keep using feh-bg.

* Supervise & re-start statusbar/notification threads:

    https://hackage.haskell.org/package/threads-supervisor-1.1.0.0/docs/Control-Concurrent-Supervisor-Tutorial.html

* Proper dynamic tagging + autotagging new windows

  (sometimes assigned tags get fucked in awesome)

    * Need to write custom XMonad.Prompt that will use DynamicWorkspaces

      extension to add new workspaces w/ names as expected by

      IndependentScreens extension. Not sure how to make dynamic keybindings to

      switch to newly created workspaces.

* Jump to window prompt w/ autocomplete

* Workspace-specific positioning on init

    * Gimp: Put image in center & toolbars to left & right side, all floating.

    * Audio: non-mixer & jamin stacked on left, Claudia on right

* Project-specific workspaces that open terminals and run commands

    * SESE Website: Open main term w/ server/client vim & file tabs, another

      term w/ files & server repl tabs, & third term with build script, move

      palemoon & chromium to appropriate screens.
