-- Module : XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens
-- Copyright : (c) 2009 Daniel Wagner
-- License : BSD3
--
-- Maintainer : <daniel@wagner-home.com>
-- Stability : unstable
-- Portability : unportable
--
-- Utility functions for simulating independent sets of workspaces on
-- each screen (like dwm's workspace model), using internal tags to
-- distinguish workspaces associated with each screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
module XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens (
-- * Usage
-- $usage
VirtualWorkspace, PhysicalWorkspace,
workspaces',
withScreens, onCurrentScreen,
countScreens,
marshall, unmarshall
) where
-- for the screen stuff
import Control.Arrow hiding ((|||))
import Control.Monad
import Control.Monad.Instances
import Data.List
import Graphics.X11.Xinerama
import XMonad
import XMonad.StackSet hiding (workspaces)
-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens
--
-- You can define your workspaces by calling @withScreens@:
--
-- > myConfig = defaultConfig { workspaces = withScreens 2 ["web", "email", "irc"] }
--
-- This will create \"physical\" workspaces with distinct internal names for
-- each (screen, virtual workspace) pair.
--
-- Then edit any keybindings that use the list of workspaces or refer
-- to specific workspace names. In the default configuration, only
-- the keybindings for changing workspace do this:
--
-- > [((m .|. modMask, k), windows $ f i)
-- > | (i, k) <- zip (XMonad.workspaces conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9]
-- > , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]
--
-- This should change to
--
-- > [((m .|. modMask, k), windows $ onCurrentScreen f i)
-- > | (i, k) <- zip (workspaces' conf) [xK_1 .. xK_9]
-- > , (f, m) <- [(W.greedyView, 0), (W.shift, shiftMask)]]
--
-- In particular, the analogue of @XMonad.workspaces@ is
-- @workspaces'@, and you can use @onCurrentScreen@ to convert functions
-- of virtual workspaces to functions of physical workspaces, which work
-- by marshalling the virtual workspace name and the currently focused
-- screen into a physical workspace name.
type VirtualWorkspace = WorkspaceId
type PhysicalWorkspace = WorkspaceId
marshall :: ScreenId -> VirtualWorkspace -> PhysicalWorkspace
marshall (S sc) vws = show sc ++ '_':vws
unmarshall :: PhysicalWorkspace -> (ScreenId, VirtualWorkspace)
unmarshall = ((S . read) *** drop 1) . break (=='_')
-- ^ You shouldn't need to use @marshall@ and @unmarshall@ very much.
-- They simply convert between the physical and virtual worlds. For
-- example, you might want to use them as part of a status bar
-- configuration. The function @snd . unmarshall@ would discard the
-- screen information from an otherwise unsightly workspace name.
workspaces' :: XConfig l -> [VirtualWorkspace]
workspaces' = nub . map (snd . unmarshall) . workspaces
withScreens :: ScreenId -- ^ The number of screens to make workspaces for
-> [VirtualWorkspace] -- ^ The desired virtual workspace names
-> [PhysicalWorkspace] -- ^ A list of all internal physical workspace names
withScreens n vws = [marshall sc pws | pws <- vws, sc <- [0..n-1]]
onCurrentScreen :: (VirtualWorkspace -> WindowSet -> a) -> (PhysicalWorkspace -> WindowSet -> a)
onCurrentScreen f vws = screen . current >>= f . flip marshall vws
-- | In case you don't know statically how many screens there will be, you can call this in main before starting xmonad. For example, part of my config reads
--
-- > main = do
-- > nScreens <- countScreens
-- > xmonad $ defaultConfig {
-- > ...
-- > workspaces = withScreens nScreens (workspaces defaultConfig),
-- > ...
-- > }
