| 00:06:02 | <sfrique> | i see, i am asking because i'm currently on i3 for a few years now, was planing on changing to some other tiling with auto tiling, i started to play with xmonad and got quite a few things working, but for a future proof i don't see how i can go with xmonad if there is now wayland plan =/ |

| 00:18:00 | <Liskni_si> | it'd be a lot easier to maintain wayland xmonad if there was a generic wayland compositor with an interface to run window managers in a separate process |
| 00:18:45 | <Liskni_si> | (or at least that's my feeling about it; no real experience with wayland apart from looking at waymonad and seeing all the complicated stuff that someone else should maintain :-)) |

| 07:33:01 | <dminuoso> | Mmm, I recently updated my entire system. Ever since, it seems that sometimes when when firefox is open the entire screen flickers shortly at unpredictable times |
| 07:33:17 | <dminuoso> | The flickering looks almost as if for a split second another window is being drawn, perhaps partially ontop of the scren |
| 07:33:28 | <dminuoso> | It's rare enough to majorly impact me, but it happens a few times a day |
| 07:33:40 | <dminuoso> | What might be going on? |
| 07:34:11 | <dminuoso> | My journald has nothing of interest during the time period |
| 07:36:11 | <dminuoso> | Mmm, even the region ontop of the status bar is affected. |
| 07:36:40 | <dminuoso> | How can firefox have control over this? I thought it's xmonads job to control the window layouting |
| 07:37:57 | <dminuoso> | It seems to be indirectly correlated to me hovering over links, at random times. The flickering exhibits shortly after |
| 07:38:45 | <dminuoso> | Ohh... I think it might happen when Slack is right behind Firefox... |
| 07:39:38 | <dminuoso> | Perhaps Slack is trying to grab? |
| 07:40:35 | <dminuoso> | Well, it's good that after 2 weeks I finally have something to go on. |

| 09:21:31 | <mc47> | I saw that issue and thought "isn't it just stack test?" |
| 09:21:35 | <mc47> | I was... wrong |
| 09:21:41 | <Solid> | yeah exactly |
| 09:21:48 | <Solid> | it's just `stack test` with the core repo |
| 09:21:52 | <Solid> | but contrib does weird things |
| 09:22:02 | <Solid> | I'd vote for unifying this so I can just `stack test` in contrib as well |

| 09:26:01 | <mc47> | I'd work on that in the weekend, after I clear my assignments |
| 09:27:01 | <mc47> | it doesn't seem complicated: all the genMain script is doing is just generating a Properties.hs and a Main.hs file... I'll generate them, make them work, and remove genMain. We'd only need to make sure to sync these files whenever we add tests |

| 09:45:03 | <coldpress> | dminuoso: oh, I thought you said it was a firefox problem. I had firefox flicker when running compton, and I believe setting layers.acceleration there solved my problem |
| 09:46:04 | <dminuoso> | coldpress: It just exhibits when firefox is ontop, but I strongly believe it happens precisely when some slack control is behind. I dont fully understand how X11 works, but it seems almost as if when the mouse position is ontop of the slack control (which in the window stack is behind firefox) there's some "fighting" going on |
| 09:46:35 | <dminuoso> | Where "slack" very shortly appears ontop, and then hides again. I dont have proof of this, but I managed to "fix" it by moving slack to a different screen. |

| 17:01:38 | <Shadorain> | hello friends, i have a strange idea today but i think it would be quite helpful to my workflow atleast, |
| 17:01:42 | <Shadorain> | im trying to setup a layout that spans across my 3 monitors, it is based off of one workspace and a new window just shrinks the first one from 3 -> 2 mons and puts the new window in on the third mon (if that makes sense) |
| 17:02:49 | <Shadorain> | as of now i just use a floating scratchpad that is 3 monitors long but it would be nice to have it tilable |

| 17:16:59 | <geekosaur> | we don't really support that, xmonad's model is that a workspace fits on a single monitor. it might be possible to abuse LayoutScreens but you'd get windows split across monitors as well |
| 17:18:09 | <Shadorain> | thats what i was thinking as well but then when i made a fake floating version of what i wanted, i realized that that floating window only resides on the one workspace |
| 17:18:24 | <Shadorain> | its just a wider window than normal on that one workspace |
| 17:19:15 | <Shadorain> | so if my layout would have windows spawn at a wider interval it would work fine afaik |
| 17:28:22 | <Shadorain> | would just have to trick a layout to think the workspace is 5760x1080 instead of 1920x1080 |
| 17:28:56 | <geekosaur> | that's more or less what LayoutScreens does |
| 17:29:36 | <Shadorain> | oh hm ur right, i see that in the second example on the docs |
| 17:30:41 | <Shadorain> | ooh yes then i can run 3 column layout with this trick |
| 17:30:49 | <Shadorain> | each monitor would be a column |
| 17:41:03 | <Shadorain> | woah it actually worked haha!!! this is nuts! |
| 17:46:44 | <Shadorain> | the only issue im having is that it goes past just the one workspace and affects all |
| 17:50:13 | <geekosaur> | yes, I think there's no way around that since workspaces are subordinate to monitors and not vice versa |
| 17:50:29 | <geekosaur> | you can't re-layout monitors based on what workspace is visible |

| 18:06:17 | <Shadorain> | hmm but u can rescreen on layout change |
| 18:06:46 | <Shadorain> | and prob can do a hack where if u use a workspace change key to also rescreen |

| 18:10:15 | <geekosaur> | you may cause an infinite loop if you do, since rescreen would rerun the layout |
| 18:10:56 | <Shadorain> | i cant find a way to do the layoutScreens in the layout itself so i have a bind but id much rather it in the layout |
| 18:19:53 | <sfrique> | Can the layout be changed dynamically based on monitor resolution/orientation? if so how, i plan to use xmonad as my second WM (i3 first) and see if i feel it's improving my workflow |
| 18:20:59 | <Shadorain> | yes it can there is a module called PerScreen that handles that well |
| 18:23:32 | <geekosaur> | there are a couple ofways to conditionalize layouts based on screen size iirc |
| 18:27:11 | <Shadorain> | yo geekosaur, is there a max delta ratio limit for how little you inc/dec with resizing? |
| 18:27:30 | <Shadorain> | im trying like (1/1000) and it isnt any different from (1/100) |
| 18:28:19 | <geekosaur> | ultimately it'll be converted to pixels, and there are only so many pixels on most screens. maybe 1/1000 would show on a fancy 4K UHD monitor |
| 18:29:11 | <geekosaur> | we use ratios because monitors don't have to be the same size, i used to have a 1366x768 next to a 1920x1080 and fixed pixel sizes don't work well for that |
| 18:29:32 | <Shadorain> | hm yeh that is true, i feel like i should get more pixels allowed tho with my resizing of screen |
| 18:29:58 | <Shadorain> | yeh thats very tru so the ration should allow for more since i theoretically have 5760 instead of 1920 |
| 18:30:40 | <sfrique> | thanks, i will take a look in this perscreen module |
| 18:33:19 | <sfrique> | by the way, is there a site ranking "best" modules for xmonad? |

| 18:39:51 | <sfrique> | Shadorain, that list i know, thanks, but they are not ranking on any way, I was thinking it could be some how.. xD not a big deal, but =] |
| 18:39:54 | <Solid> | how would you even rank something like xmonad's modules |
| 18:40:02 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure we have enough users for a ranking system to do very much, to be honest |
| 18:41:38 | <sfrique> | Solid, voting system is something.. but yeah, i don't see much users and not sure it would work well, i am just sarting on xmonad.. |
| 18:42:35 | <Solid> | I wouldn't be so sure about the numbers of users that we actually have, more the number of users who would even interact with these kinds of things |
| 18:43:23 | <sfrique> | since we here, is there a way to enter a "mode" for other short cuts? like resize mode of i3 |
| 18:43:32 | <Shadorain> | yeh i dont think many users would ever dig that deep to see that sadly |
| 18:43:55 | <Shadorain> | explain mode? sounds like vim and its intriguing tehe |
| 18:45:10 | <sfrique> | well, yes, kind of vim maybe. The goal is to enter a "mode" and a new set of keybinds would exist for it, most used on resize i guess for me |
| 18:45:31 | <Solid> | there's a "modal xmonad bindings" module floating around, but the person who wrote it never submitted it to contrib for some reason |
| 18:45:34 | <Shadorain> | yeh thats totally vim |
| 18:45:36 | <geekosaur> | you can't do modes that readily, but there are some modules to allow keybindings to vary in a somewhat modal way |
| 18:45:48 | <geekosaur> | hm, I thought they did |
| 18:45:53 | <Shadorain> | subkeybinds can do something like that |
| 18:46:04 | <Shadorain> | geekosaur, nah if they did i woulda jumped on that so fast |
| 18:46:30 | <sfrique> | i saw the subkeybinds, but i am not sure it stays in the mode after pressed |
| 18:46:44 | <Shadorain> | ah yeh no it doesnt |
| 18:47:08 | <sfrique> | i found this: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Actions-Submap.html |
| 18:47:24 | <Solid> | https://gist.github.com/LSLeary/6741b0572d62db3f0cea8e6618141b2f this is the gist |
| 18:48:11 | <Solid> | it's a bit hacky but I don't think it's too hacky for xmonad-contrib |
| 18:49:21 | <sfrique> | thanks, but i don't know haskell well enought to hack that much xD going to leave wihtout it hahaha |
| 18:50:09 | <Shadorain> | hacky is what i do anyways lol, using xmodmap and crap so lets do it! |

| 19:48:02 | <Shadowraith> | my special spanning layout finally lets me feel like i actually use all 3 mons lol |
| 19:48:32 | <Shadowraith> | can you use a spawn command from a layout like when switching to a specific layout? |
| 19:52:45 | → | xaltsc joins (~xaltsc@unaffiliated/xaltsc) |
| 19:55:10 | <geekosaur> | that sounds … painful |
| 19:56:55 | <Shadowraith> | thats been my experience in general trying to do somethign in haskell not even knowing haskell :joy: |
| 19:57:13 | <geekosaur> | I mean, an impure layut could do a spawn, but catching that you'd just switched to the layout less so (you'd have to save and compare the previous layout on the current workspace, probably in XS — and note that during the layout, the StackSet is out of date because the current one's being built as part of laying out the workspace) |
| 19:57:58 | <geekosaur> | sadly that does not mean it stores the old layout, in general |
| 19:58:38 | <geekosaur> | but it'll have other stuff randomly out of date, in particular the currently focused window probably isn't even present in it |
| 19:59:18 | <geekosaur> | and of course the spawned window will force another layout run |
| 19:59:28 | <Shadowraith> | yikes that sounds alot past my skill level here haha |
| 19:59:44 | <Shadowraith> | oh by spawn command i meant the spawn module that allows u to run shell commands |
| 19:59:48 | <Shadowraith> | idk if i made that clear |
| 20:00:44 | <geekosaur> | there's also a built-in spawn command, the module just provides some other possibilities |
| 20:01:36 | <Shadowraith> | i didnt mean module* yeh i meant the built in one, come on shado use the right terminology lol |
| 20:01:59 | <Shadowraith> | is there a way to have a layout run the built in spawn (shell command) on being switched to? |
| 20:02:46 | <geekosaur> | the layout would be run in that situation, but also when various other things happen. there is no specific "do this when this layout is switched to" |
| 20:02:59 | <geekosaur> | which is why I tried to describe how to do so |
| 20:03:18 | <Shadowraith> | oh maybe shado just didnt understand :facepalm: im sorry haha |
| 20:05:14 | <geekosaur> | come to think of it, it might be easier to change mod-space binding to query the layout by its description after changing it, and spawn something |
| 20:05:55 | <Shadowraith> | thats what ive been trying to do mentally but id never be able to do that in Haskell lol |
| 20:07:38 | <Shadowraith> | still trying to figure out too how to get one keybinding to run multiple things :joy: |
| 20:08:22 | <geekosaur> | you can get the layout by looking up the workspace in the StackSet, then apply `description` to that. you'd have to ensure the layout's description is sufficiently distinctive |
| 20:08:50 | <Shadowraith> | http://0x0.st/i77C.txt |
| 20:08:53 | <Shadowraith> | checkout my loghook |
| 20:09:13 | <Shadowraith> | i have like a query thing to find the current layout name and to send it to a file |
| 20:09:24 | <Shadowraith> | maybe it would work similar to that? |
| 20:09:40 | <Shadowraith> | except do command based off layout name instead of send to file |
| 20:10:50 | <geekosaur> | somthing like that, yes |

| 20:50:14 | <geekosaur> | that said there's a long running issue basically caused by spotify not playing by the rules, so things like className don't work right |
| 20:51:08 | <geekosaur> | (it doesn't set its properties until after it renders. there's a special module to deal with this, DynamicProperty) |
| 20:52:42 | <geekosaur> | XMonad.Hooks.DynamicProperty that is |
| 20:53:27 | <geekosaur> | so you may need to put things like floating via DynamicProperty to get them to work right, and the scratchpad might be a little unreliable |
| 20:53:28 | <sfrique> | i just have to load it? |
| 20:54:40 | <sfrique> | it seems i have to add some code |
| 20:55:11 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 20:55:44 | <geekosaur> | it basically puts a managehook in response to a property change. but you need to be specific as to what the managehook matches. |
| 20:57:12 | <geekosaur> | there's no simple way to deal with this kind of thing, Spotify is a browser window and they're really dynamic |
| 20:59:35 | <sfrique> | i see, i will see how to add the code |
| 21:08:03 | <geekosaur> | here's where the discussion of spotify's misbehavior is being discussed: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/214 |

| 21:16:47 | <sfrique> | not verything is floated, but it seems it ignores xmobar for some reason |
| 21:18:26 | <geekosaur> | it does ignore xmobar, as it ignores all dock windows (they're self-managing). "below everything" still sounds wrong though |
| 21:18:55 | <geekosaur> | it shouldn't be placing windows over docks with or without the handleEventHook |

| 21:25:50 | <sfrique> | i had not |
| 21:26:10 | <sfrique> | handleEventHook = myHandleEventHook |
| 21:26:40 | <sfrique> | this was added to my main block just now, if i remove it, the xmobar works fine, but i don't getthe spotify resize |
| 21:26:52 | <geekosaur> | although come to think of it the docksEventHook shouldn't be involved here, it's just for things like moves |

| 21:33:33 | <sfrique> | xmonad seemed very promising, but i keep hiting "edge" cases |
| 21:34:41 | <geekosaur> | actually I'm wondering if you need to change the handleEventHook to: myHandleEventHook <+> handleEventHook desktopConfig |
| 21:36:16 | <sfrique> | wait, so how you think would be the full line? |
| 21:38:11 | <geekosaur> | , handleEventHook = myHandleEventHook <+> handleEventHook desktopConfig |
| 21:39:06 | <sfrique> | it did work |
| 21:39:19 | <sfrique> | i don't understand why tough |
| 21:40:00 | <sfrique> | so it's like we are adding all the defaults after what i have createdas events hooks? |
| 21:40:04 | <geekosaur> | because you were getting something essential from desktopConfig but when you overrode handleEventHook without explicitly "copying in" the stuff from desktopConfig, you lost it |
