XMonad.Layout.ComboP

A layout that combines multiple layouts and allows to specify where to put new windows.

Usage

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

import XMonad.Layout.ComboP

and add something like

combineTwoP (TwoPane 0.03 0.5) (tabbed shrinkText def) (tabbed shrinkText def) (ClassName "Firefox")

to your layouts. This way all windows with class = "Firefox" will always go to the left pane, all others - to the right.

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

combineTwoP is a simple layout combinator based on combineTwo from Combo, with addition of a Property which tells where to put new windows. Windows mathing the property will go into the first part, all others will go into the second part. It supports Move messages as combineTwo does, but it also introduces SwapWindow message which sends focused window to the other part. It is required because Move commands don't work when one of the parts is empty. To use it, import "XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation", and add the following key bindings (or something similar):

   , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), sendMessage $ Move R)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Left ), sendMessage $ Move L)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Up   ), sendMessage $ Move U)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Down ), sendMessage $ Move D)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_s    ), sendMessage $ SwapWindow)

For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see the tutorial.
