XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir
Contents
Description
WorkspaceDir is an extension to set the current directory in a workspace.
Actually, it sets the current directory in a layout, since there's no way I know of to attach a behavior to a workspace. This means that any terminals (or other programs) pulled up in that workspace (with that layout) will execute in that working directory. Sort of handy, I think.
Note this extension requires the directory
package to be installed.
- workspaceDir :: LayoutClass l a => String -> l a -> ModifiedLayout WorkspaceDir l a
- changeDir :: XPConfig -> X ()
- data WorkspaceDir a
Usage
You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
:
import XMonad.Layout.WorkspaceDir
Then edit your layoutHook
by adding the Workspace layout modifier
to some layout:
myLayout = workspaceDir "~" (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc.. main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }
For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
WorkspaceDir provides also a prompt. To use it you need to import XMonad.Prompt and add something like this to your key bindings:
, ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_x ), changeDir defaultXPConfig)
For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see:

data WorkspaceDir a Source
