XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger

This is a pure layout modifier that will let you move and resize windows with the keyboard in any layout.

Usage

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

import XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger
myLayout = layoutHook def
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = windowArrange myLayout }

or

main = xmonad def { layoutHook = windowArrangeAll myLayout }

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

You may also want to define some key binding to move or resize windows. These are good defaults:

       , ((modm .|. controlMask              , xK_s    ), sendMessage  Arrange         )
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_s    ), sendMessage  DeArrange       )
       , ((modm .|. controlMask              , xK_Left ), sendMessage (MoveLeft      1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask              , xK_Right), sendMessage (MoveRight     1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask              , xK_Down ), sendMessage (MoveDown      1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask              , xK_Up   ), sendMessage (MoveUp        1))
       , ((modm                 .|. shiftMask, xK_Left ), sendMessage (IncreaseLeft  1))
       , ((modm                 .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), sendMessage (IncreaseRight 1))
       , ((modm                 .|. shiftMask, xK_Down ), sendMessage (IncreaseDown  1))
       , ((modm                 .|. shiftMask, xK_Up   ), sendMessage (IncreaseUp    1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Left ), sendMessage (DecreaseLeft  1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), sendMessage (DecreaseRight 1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Down ), sendMessage (DecreaseDown  1))
       , ((modm .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Up   ), sendMessage (DecreaseUp    1))

memberFromList :: (b -> c) -> (c -> a -> Bool) -> a -> [b] -> [b]

Given a function to be applied to each member of ta list, and a function to check a condition by processing this transformed member with something, you get the first member that satisfy the condition, or an empty list.

listFromList :: (b -> c) -> (c -> [a] -> Bool) -> [a] -> [b] -> [b]

Given a function to be applied to each member of a list, and a function to check a condition by processing this transformed member with the members of a list, you get the list of members that satisfy the condition.

diff :: Eq a => ([a], [a]) -> ([a], [a])

Get the list of elements to be deleted and the list of elements to be added to the first list in order to get the second list.
