XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation

WindowNavigation is an extension to allow easy navigation of a workspace.

Usage

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

import XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation

Then edit your layoutHook by adding the WindowNavigation layout modifier to some layout:

myLayout = windowNavigation (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc..
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

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

In keybindings:

   , ((modm,                 xK_Right), sendMessage $ Go R)
   , ((modm,                 xK_Left ), sendMessage $ Go L)
   , ((modm,                 xK_Up   ), sendMessage $ Go U)
   , ((modm,                 xK_Down ), sendMessage $ Go D)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_Right), sendMessage $ Swap R)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_Left ), sendMessage $ Swap L)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_Up   ), sendMessage $ Swap U)
   , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_Down ), sendMessage $ Swap D)

data WNConfig

Used with configurableNavigation to specify how to show reachable windows' borders. You cannot create WNConfig values directly; use def or one of the following three functions to create one.

def, and windowNavigation, uses the focused border color at 40% brightness, as if you had specified

configurableNavigation (navigateBrightness 0.4)
