16:29:41 <dirtcastle> can u help me find the bug in my code. New to xmonad & Haskell. Can't find answers in Google/reddit https://dpaste.org/RNbS#
16:30:32 <dirtcastle> Full config : https://dpaste.org/JYJ7
16:30:36 <geekosaur> what were you expecting, and what happens instead?
16:31:12 <geekosaur> also, were you trying to use this with spawnOnce or similar?
16:31:49 <dirtcastle> I expected dorectfloat. Trying to use doShift along with it
16:32:05 <dirtcastle> geekosaur: yes
16:32:32 <dirtcastle> Oh. Should I make a new hook. ?
16:33:35 <dirtcastle> Also I don't think the syntax is crct. Can't figure out by myself with docs,google and reddit
16:33:37 <geekosaur> no. manageSpawn is a predefined function that recognizes when a managed window appears in the manageHook and applies the spawnOn or etc. manager to it
16:34:36 <geekosaur> yes, the syntax is wrong. but the thought process seems to be wrong as well. I think you intended to use spawnAndDo, and you'd just use the predefined manageSpawn in the manageHook
16:37:21 <geekosaur> spawnAndDo (doRectFloat W.RationalRect 0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5 <+> doShift 1) "emacs"
16:39:00 <dirtcastle> Oh. I didn't think of using spawnAndDo. The doc said this " managespawn: provides a managhook to react on process spawned with spawnOn, spawnhere. So I thought I can configure in managespawn and it would be sufficient.
16:40:02 <geekosaur> no, manageSpawn is self-contained
16:40:29 <geekosaur> it gets its instructions as to what to do from the spawn function you use (spawnOn, spawnHere, spawnAndDo, etc.)
16:41:29 <geekosaur> it also knows how to verify that the window that it applies to is the one you actually spawned, instead of some other window that happens to have the same className or etc,
16:43:59 <dirtcastle> Ohh that's neat.
16:44:14 <dirtcastle> I added spawnAndDo to startuphook
16:54:54 <geekosaur> what you were doing originally (with the syntax error corrected) would be what you do if you wanted it to apply to all emacs windows (well, fixing the className error also), whereas spawnAndDo will apply it specifically to that spawned window
16:56:42 <geekosaur> your syntax and other issues were: the `&` (I'm not sure where you got that from, doRectFloat takes an ordinary argument. oh, hm, I screwed up above, left off parentheses, as did you) and by convention a className starts with an uppercase letter and emacs obeys that convention so it would never have matched
16:56:54 <geekosaur> spawnAndDo (doRectFloat (W.RationalRect 0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5) <+> doShift 1) "emacs"
16:57:06 <geekosaur> sorry for that
16:59:33 <dirtcastle> I assumed since I wrote it inside managespawn it will only affect windows spawmed using spawnOn. My bad
17:00:11 → gdd joins (~gdd@129.199.146.230)
17:00:41 <geekosaur> no, as you wrote it manageSpawwn was just an ordinary list that wouldn't be distinguished from any other
17:03:09 <dirtcastle> Ohhhh. It just adds to the total list of instructions in myManageHooks.
17:12:01 <geekosaur> right
17:27:37 → allbery_b joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
17:27:37 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by allbery_b)))
17:27:40 allbery_b is now known as geekosaur
17:41:32 × gdd quits (~gdd@129.199.146.230) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
17:44:59 <dirtcastle> No instance for (Num WorkspaceId) arising from the literal '1'
17:44:59 <dirtcastle> In the first argument of 'doShift', Namely '1'
17:44:59 <dirtcastle> In the second argument of 'spawnAndDo' , namely
17:44:59 <dirtcastle> '(doRectFloat (W.RationalRect 0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5) <+> doShift 1) "Emacs"
17:45:26 <dirtcastle> This is the error I got
17:46:03 <dirtcastle> Tried with emacs and Emacs
17:46:10 <geekosaur> oh, I missed the quotes
17:46:17 <geekosaur> spawnAndDo (doRectFloat (W.RationalRect 0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5) <+> doShift "1") "emacs"
17:46:24 <geekosaur> WorkspaceId is String
17:46:44 <geekosaur> what I get for doing stuff before my first coffee :/
17:50:23 <dirtcastle> Thank you so much for your time. I was able to implement all the features I wanted with xmonad.

23:52:15 <altker128> Hey guys
23:52:27 <geekosaur> hi
23:57:42 <altker128> I'm curious if anyone is using xmonad with something like MATE or potentially KDE . I'm thinking about xmonad because if I understand, it supports different workspaces per monitor
23:58:22 <altker128> I'm fine with the way MATE handles notifications, device insertion and the icons on the desktop but if I understood correctly, some of that wouldn't work if one used a different window manager ?
23:58:29 <altker128> i.e. icons on the desktop?
23:58:56 <geekosaur> I use it with MATE https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/tree/skkukuk
23:59:26 <geekosaur> the desktop icons and device insertion etc. are handled by the file manager (caja), not the window manager (marco) which is replaced by xmonad
