XMonad.Hooks.ManageDebug

A manageHook and associated logHook for debugging ManageHooks. Simplest usage: wrap your xmonad config in the debugManageHook combinator. Or use debugManageHookOn for a triggerable version, specifying the triggering key sequence in XMonad.Util.EZConfig syntax. Or use the individual hooks in whatever way you see fit.

debugManageHook :: forall (l :: Type -> Type). XConfig l -> XConfig l

A combinator to add full ManageHook debugging in a single operation.

debugManageHookOn :: forall (l :: Type -> Type). String -> XConfig l -> XConfig l

A combinator to add triggerable ManageHook debugging in a single operation. Specify a key sequence as a string in XMonad.Util.EZConfig syntax; press this key before opening the window to get just that logged.

manageDebug :: ManageHook

Place this at the start of a ManageHook, or possibly other places for a more limited view. It will show the current StackSet state and the new window, and set a flag so that manageDebugLogHook will display the final StackSet state.

Note that the initial state shows only the current workspace; the final one shows all workspaces, since your manageHook might use e.g. doShift,

maybeManageDebug :: ManageHook

manageDebug only if the user requested it with debugNextManagedWindow.

manageDebugLogHook :: X ()

If manageDebug has set the debug-stack flag, show the stack.

debugNextManagedWindow :: X ()

Request that the next window to be managed be manageDebug-ed. This can be used anywhere an X action can, such as key bindings, mouse bindings (presumably with const), startupHook, etc.
