XMonad.Layout.MessageControl

Contents

- Usage

Description

Provides message "escaping" and filtering facilities which help control complex nested layouts.

Synopsis

- data Ignore m l w
- ignore :: (Message m, LayoutClass l w) => m -> l w -> Ignore m l w
- data UnEscape w
- unEscape :: LayoutClass l w => l w -> ModifiedLayout UnEscape l w
- newtype EscapedMessage = Escape SomeMessage
- escape :: Message m => m -> EscapedMessage

# Usage

You can use this module by importing it into your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs` file:

    import XMonad.Layout.MessageEscape

Then, if you use a modified layout where the modifier would intercept a message, but you'd want to be able to send it to the inner layout only, add the `unEscape` modifier to the inner layout like so:

    import XMonad.Layout.Master (mastered)
    import XMonad.Layout.Tabbed (simpleTabbed)

    myLayout = Tall ||| unEscape (mastered 0.01 0.5 $ Full ||| simpleTabbed)

you can now send a message to the inner layout with `sendMessage $ escape message`, e.g.

    -- Change the inner layout
    ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_space), sendMessage $ escape NextLayout)

If you want unescaped messages to be handled only by the enclosing layout, use the `ignore` modifier:

    myLayout = Tall ||| (ignore NextLayout $ ignore (JumpToLayout "") $
                          unEscape $ mastered 0.01 0.5
                            $ Full ||| simpleTabbed)

data Ignore m l w #

the Ignore layout modifier. Prevents its inner layout from receiving messages of a certain type.

ignore :: (Message m, LayoutClass l w) => m -> l w -> Ignore m l w #

Applies the Ignore layout modifier to a layout, blocking all messages of the same type as the one passed as its first argument.

data UnEscape w #

the UnEscape layout modifier. Listens to `EscapedMessage`s and sends their nested message to the inner layout.
