You can tweak your -- @dynamicLog@ settings to filter it out if you like. -- -- A tool like detach (<http://detach.sourceforge.net>) turns it -- into a launchpad for X apps. -- -- By default, your xmonad terminal is used. -- The default ManageHook uses a centered, half-screen-wide, -- quarter-screen-tall window. -- The key, position and size are configurable. -- -- The terminal application must support the @-name@ argument. -- Known supported terminals: rxvt, rxvt-unicode, xterm. -- Most others are likely to follow the lead set by xterm. -- -- Bind the following to a key in your xmonad.hs keybindings: -- -- > scratchpadSpawnAction conf -- -- Where @conf@ is the configuration. -- -- And add one of the @scratchpadManageHook*@s to your ManageHook list. -- The default rectangle is half the screen wide and a quarter of the -- screen tall, centered. -- -- | Action to pop up the terminal, for the user to bind to a custom key. scratchpadSpawnAction :: XConfig l -- ^ The configuration, to retrieve the terminal -> X () scratchpadSpawnAction conf = scratchpadSpawnActionCustom $ terminal conf ++ " -name scratchpad" -- | Action to pop up the terminal, with a directly specified terminal. scratchpadSpawnActionTerminal :: String -- ^ Name of the terminal program -> X () scratchpadSpawnActionTerminal term = scratchpadSpawnActionCustom $ term ++ " -name scratchpad" -- | Action to pop up any program with the user specifying how to set -- its resource to \"scratchpad\".
