XMonad.Layout.MouseResizableTile

A layout in the spirit of XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile, but with the option to use the mouse to adjust the layout.

Usage

You can use this module with the following in your xmonad.hs:

import XMonad.Layout.MouseResizableTile

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the MouseResizableTile layout. Either in its normal form or the mirrored version. (The mirror layout modifier will not work correctly here because of the use of the mouse.)

myLayout = mouseResizableTile ||| etc..
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see the tutorial and XMonad.Doc.Extending.

You may also want to add the following key bindings:

, ((modm,               xK_u), sendMessage ShrinkSlave) -- %! Shrink a slave area
, ((modm,               xK_i), sendMessage ExpandSlave) -- %! Expand a slave area

For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see:

the tutorial.

Parameters

The following functions are also labels for updating the data (whose representation is otherwise hidden) produced by mouseResizableTile.

Usage:

myLayout = mouseResizableTile{ masterFrac = 0.7,
                               fracIncrement = 0.05,
                               draggerType = BordersDragger }
               |||  etc..

nmaster :: MouseResizableTile a -> Int

Get/set the number of windows in master pane (default: 1).

masterFrac :: MouseResizableTile a -> Rational

Get/set the proportion of screen occupied by master pane (default: 1/2).

slaveFrac :: MouseResizableTile a -> Rational

Get/set the proportion of remaining space in a column occupied by a slave window (default: 1/2).

fracIncrement :: MouseResizableTile a -> Rational

Get/set the increment used when modifying masterFrac/slaveFrac by the Shrink, Expand, etc. messages (default: 3/100).

isMirrored :: MouseResizableTile a -> Bool

Get/set whether the layout is mirrored (default: False).

draggerType :: MouseResizableTile a -> DraggerType

Get/set dragger and gap dimensions (default: FixedDragger 6 6).

data DraggerType

Specifies the size of the clickable area between windows.

Constructors

FixedDragger

Fields

• gapWidth :: Dimension

  width of a gap between windows

• draggerWidth :: Dimension

  width of the dragger itself (will overlap windows if greater than gap)

BordersDragger

no gaps, draggers overlap window borders
