| 05:42:19 | <abhixec> | what file managers do people use on xmonad? I am looking for a feature rich but more standalone one(by which I mean it shouldn't pull gnome/kde dependencies ) |
| 06:11:32 | <curiousgay> | abhixec: if you care about not depending on gtk and qt at all, you can find the list of file managers here https://suckless.org/rocks/ and here https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/file+manager |
| 06:11:50 | <curiousgay> | ignore everything under "non-tcl file managers" |
| 06:16:35 | <curiousgay> | I can also recommend you acme from plan9port, but to handle different file types you need to configure the program plumb which also comes with plan9port |
| 06:18:00 | <curiousgay> | if you want GUI file manager, ignore everything suckless.org recommends and simply use something written in tcl/tk |

| 11:37:34 | <desantra> | I have this issue with firefox-devedition where sometimes when switching between workspaces my firefox window will dissapear as in it goes completely transparent and I can't interact with it, but the process is still running because if I happen to be playing a YT vid when this happens I can still hear the sound and the only solution I've found is to kill firefox and restart it. Anyone know what |

| 16:49:02 | <Solid> | excellent :) |
| 17:04:55 | <abhixec> | is there a way/layout to just open applications veritcally |
| 17:09:10 | <noex> | anyone know why qutebrowser would start on top of xmobar every time? i wish it wouldn't |
| 17:09:33 | <noex> | i have to togglestruts every time to get it back |
| 17:10:51 | <Vermoot> | abhixec, I think you can do that with Column or BinaryColumn, by just adding Mirror in front of it |
| 17:10:54 | <noex> | guess i could probably fix it with the managehook, but i wasn't sure if it was an obvious setting |
| 17:15:12 | <abhixec> | Thanks Vermoot |

| 18:36:36 | <noex> | pasting is really awkward on the kinesis advantage, i was trying to remap home to be a "paste" button but it doesn't seem to work. i just mapped it to "spawn xclip -o" which does output my clipboard, but spawning must obviously not just dump stdout to the focused window |

| 18:40:50 | <Solid> | you can use xdotool to send a S-<insert> |

| 18:49:51 | <noex> | Solid: can I use spawn to run that? strangely still does not seem to work. i'm not sure why. |
| 18:53:15 | <geekosaur> | XMonad.Util.Ungrab |
| 18:53:47 | <geekosaur> | it's launching while xmonad is still holding the keyboard grab, so probably the key is sent to xmonad |
| 18:54:20 | <noex> | ah that makes sense |
| 18:55:03 | <noex> | not sure if xmodmap or xbindkeys is a more idiomatic way to accomplish this |

| 19:13:45 | <noex> | one thing i have wondered recently is, if you have a grid of windows open, is it possible to have xmonad cycle them in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion? it may be just my config also, but it seems to cut across in a rather...less than predictable way when I cycle windows. reading the docs lately, I am wondering if this is possible. i believe it just cycles through the "stack" of windows with no |
| 19:13:47 | <noex> | regard or real knowledge of their physical position on the screen...i could be wrong though. |
| 19:14:02 | × | seschwar quits (~seschwar@user/seschwar) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |
| 19:14:51 | <geekosaur> | you are correct. X.A.WindowNavigation might be of interest, however |
| 19:14:52 | <vrs> | I'm pretty sure that you can do this but I know of no layouts that do it |
| 19:15:34 | <vrs> | yeah WindowNavigation was what I was going to link, I use it on my workstation with the big screens and many terminals https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Layout-WindowNavigation.html |
| 19:15:45 | <geekosaur> | oh sorry, L not A |
| 19:16:02 | <geekosaur> | (I need to restart my browser, it's hanging on github again :( |
| 19:17:59 | <noex> | looks like i could probably write a function with this to accomplish what I want. doesn't sound trivial though. especially with my knowledge (or lack thereof) of haskell |
| 19:18:07 | × | geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 19:18:39 | <noex> | i guess for clockwise, down becomes left if there is no window below |
| 19:18:42 | <noex> | etc |
| 19:19:48 | → | geekosaur joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) |
| 19:20:44 | <noex> | vrs: if you try to go down and there's nowhere to go in the down direction, i assume it just does nothing? |
| 19:21:04 | <vrs> | it wraps around |
| 19:21:19 | <noex> | hmm |
