| 00:01:42 | <AskYourself[m]> | I don't want it to default on. |
| 00:01:52 | <AskYourself[m]> | I want it to behave normally, but then to flip only if I hit the key. |
| 00:02:30 | <geekosaur> | shouldn't that work without adding the explicit reflectVert? |
| 00:02:48 | <geekosaur> | because the modifier inserts reflectVert when you toggle it on |
| 00:05:50 | <AskYourself[m]> | I removed reflectVert, it's not starting out flipped now, but still keybind has no effect. |

| 00:10:33 | <geekosaur> | hm. looks right to me, do you perhaps have another definition for M-m in your keys? |
| 00:11:57 | <AskYourself[m]> | Nope, just searched the whole file to make sure. |
| 00:15:31 | <liskin> | https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/ea501372407c1115bd53c20e345cde19d99e9e4e is rougly similar to what I have in my config and it works perfectly |
| 00:18:05 | <AskYourself[m]> | I tried changing the key just to make sure it's not something about "M-m", but same behaviour. |
| 00:34:42 | <geekosaur> | welp |
| 00:35:12 | <geekosaur> | it took me a while because something recreated ~/.cabal on me but I'm running the prerelease cabal in XDG mode so everything broke… |
| 00:35:26 | <geekosaur> | but I just set this up in my config. and… it doesn't work |
| 00:36:09 | <AskYourself[m]> | At least it's not just me, lol. |
| 00:42:02 | <geekosaur> | seems to be a problem with MultiToggle: if I switch it to FULL instead of REFLECTY it still doesn't work |
| 00:51:15 | <geekosaur> | sigh. really do not want to try to debug something based on HList… |
| 00:54:03 | <geekosaur> | please tell me this doesn't matter |
| 00:54:18 | <geekosaur> | oh good |
| 00:54:48 | <geekosaur> | (was checking if the pragmas named at the bottom of the file were somehow needed for it to work at all, instead of only when defining your own transformers) |
| 00:59:01 | <geekosaur> | liskin, are you running from git or 0.17.1 release or whatever debian (testing?) /ubuntu/whatever currently has or what? |
| 01:01:36 | <geekosaur> | no errors logged on the keypress, so it's apparently trying to do something |
| 01:01:52 | <geekosaur> | sadly there's no way to find out if a layout message has no recipients |
| 01:14:45 | → | sogens joins (sogens@gateway/vpn/protonvpn/sogens) |
| 01:18:26 | <geekosaur> | hrm. I tried using ToggleLayout instead and it also doesn't work, which suggests something wrong with sendMessage |
| 01:20:52 | <geekosaur> | confirmed: mod-space doesn't work either |
| 01:21:07 | <geekosaur> | did we change something with sendMessage recently? |
| 01:35:11 | <geekosaur> | AskYourself[m], does mod-space work? |
| 01:39:54 | <geekosaur> | I filed a bug about sendMessage appearing to not be working in git. I'm pretty sure it worked a couple weeks ago, so I have no idea what changed |
| 01:43:27 | <[Leary]> | I looked at the blame. There's a trivial change this year, and nothing before that until way back in 2018. |
| 01:43:40 | <[Leary]> | I don't see how it could suddenly break... |
| 01:43:49 | <AskYourself[m]> | <geekosaur> "Ask Yourself🍉, does mod-space..." <- No. Same behaviour with mod space as keybind. |
| 01:44:43 | <geekosaur> | sorry, I did not mean rebind the key to mod-space, I was asking if the regular mod-space keybind (switch to next layout, which also uses sendMessage) works |
| 01:45:22 | <geekosaur> | because mod-space stopped working here at some point which means sendMessage isn't working for some reason |
| 01:46:50 | <AskYourself[m]> | I have mod space as a launcher, but I have layout switching bound elsewhere and it works. |
| 01:47:10 | <geekosaur> | hm, and now that I removed the layput modifier mod-space works again. sigh |
| 01:47:42 | <AskYourself[m]> | If you need to see the exact keybinds..... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/945848b428d54fa3b4a97d6b5ec2edc5ac47948d>) |

| 10:23:33 | <RobertKrook> | liskin |
| 10:24:06 | <RobertKrook> | Before I start trying to do that, I was wondering if there is anyone I can talk to if I run into any troubles reviewing the tests |
| 10:32:55 | <Solid> | RobertKrook: I think just asking in here will be fine; if that's too "unofficial" then feel free to email the maintainers (scraping from github: allbery.b@gmail.com, byorgey@gmail.com, soliditsallgood@mailbox.org, tomi@nomi.cz, yecine.megdiche@gmail.com) directly or post on the xmonad mailing list ( https://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmonad ) |

| 20:23:05 | <geekosaur> | @tell thyriaen actually it's not impossible to reorder a stack, just that nobody to my knowledge has written it. The operation you pass to X.O.windows can do pretty much whatever it wants to the stack including reordering it. Making that match up with tabs might be harder though; you might have to remove the tabs and call some internal thing to make addtabs recreate them |

| 20:38:23 | <geekosaur> | use ManageDebug to make sure that WM_NAME (or _NET_WM_NAME) is set as you expect when the manageHook runs |
| 20:39:01 | <geekosaur> | or for that matter WM_CLASS; stuff that uses an embedded browser often doesn't set that until after the window is mapped |
| 20:39:05 | <AskYourself[m]> | Isn't that what I've already confirmed with xprop? |
| 20:39:17 | <geekosaur> | (spotify is guilty of that one, for example, whihc is why DynamicProperty exists) |
| 20:39:34 | <geekosaur> | no, you confirmed that that's how it is set after the window settles down |
| 20:39:39 | <geekosaur> | not when it's first mapped |
| 20:40:55 | <geekosaur> | ManageDebug will show you wnat the manageHook sees, which for an embedded browser window may be very different than what you see with xprop afterward |
| 20:41:25 | <geekosaur> | (or non-embedded browsers: chrome windows come up with a base64-encoded thingy) |
| 20:41:45 | <geekosaur> | at least I think it's base64 |

| 20:49:17 | <AskYourself[m]> | Sorry it's kinda hard for me to understand what it's doing. |
| 20:50:17 | <geekosaur> | the `<> handleEventHook myConfig` should simply be deleted |
| 20:50:38 | <geekosaur> | since your config isn't set up like mine is, it's kinda meaningless |
| 20:50:50 | <geekosaur> | (I just filed a ticket for it so I'll be reminded to fix the docs) |
| 20:51:49 | <geekosaur> | (using `def` instead of `myConfig` would also be correct, but pointless because `def` has no `handleEventHook`) |

| 20:57:11 | <AskYourself[m]> | Hmm, maybe it's that the property is not changing, it's like spawning a separate window in the same class with a different name. |
| 20:57:18 | <AskYourself[m]> | Idk. |
| 21:05:17 | <geekosaur> | it may be placing itself afterward, xmonad doesn't place windows offscreen in general but applications often apply their own notions of where a window should be |
| 21:05:32 | <geekosaur> | I have that problem with the ubuntu updater window |
| 21:06:51 | <AskYourself[m]> | I added a debug hook, but I'm not seeing any output anywhere. |
| 21:07:01 | <AskYourself[m]> | Idk I'm not really sure how to resolve this. |
| 21:07:05 | <AskYourself[m]> | I need to be able to alter those settings. |
| 21:07:13 | <AskYourself[m]> | But the "save" button is trapped offscreen. |
| 21:08:04 | <AskYourself[m]> | I guess I could try to hit tab the right amount of times till I land on save, lol. |
| 21:08:16 | <AskYourself[m]> | Seems janky though. There should be a way to center this window. |

| 21:28:19 | <geekosaur> | AskYourself[m], did you check in ~/.xsession-errors to see if ManageDebug produced any useful output? |
| 21:28:56 | <geekosaur> | (you may need to send it to paste.tomsmeding.com or other useful pastebin; it's not particularly readable for beginners since it dumps internal xmonad information) |
| 21:30:40 | <AskYourself[m]> | Ok, I thought the output would show up in a little window. |
| 21:30:48 | <AskYourself[m]> | I'll get that and show y'all. |
| 21:32:03 | <geekosaur> | it'd be a fairly large window if you have the usual number of workspaces |

| 21:52:29 | AskYourself[m] | uploaded an image: (6KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/IwjXVydfVAaxNpsXpkBnmoiA/image.png > |
| 21:52:41 | <AskYourself[m]> | Idk why, my copy paste is failing right now. |
| 22:03:02 | <geekosaur> | interesting. do you use startx? or maybe sddm as a display manager? |
| 22:04:42 | <AskYourself[m]> | I'm not really sure how NixOS implements such things. I just set up X11 like this:... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/212b70894178ad183d8c4109840e452ffc3276b6>) |
| 22:06:34 | <geekosaur> | that's lightdm. but I don't know if NixOS records the session log somewhere else |
| 22:07:51 | <AskYourself[m]> | I'm not sure, I could go try to find out in one of the NixOS spaces and then come back, if that's best. |
| 22:09:16 | <AskYourself[m]> | geekosaur: It's not just light dm, that's just lines 4-8, this is my overall xserver settings, |
| 22:10:52 | <geekosaur> | this is something like what it should look like: https://paste.tomsmeding.com/MCQ2KVrL |
| 22:11:46 | <geekosaur> | right, but the display manager will determine where the session log is sent usually |
| 22:11:56 | <geekosaur> | sddm sends it to a different place from usual |
| 22:14:03 | <AskYourself[m]> | I'm asking in the NixOS Discord. |
| 22:14:08 | <AskYourself[m]> | We'll see if that's fruitful.. |
| 22:15:32 | <geekosaur> | oh, you also need to press the specified key (or use the always-on version) to get output |
| 22:16:01 | <geekosaur> | I just keep the key-triggered one always enabled so I can quickly check a window, since it stays out of the way unless I press the keybind |
| 22:16:14 | <geekosaur> | M-S-d in my config |
| 22:18:22 | <AskYourself[m]> | How should I do this? |
| 22:20:20 | <geekosaur> | how did you set up ManageDebug? or did you simply import it expecting that to do something? |
| 22:22:47 | <AskYourself[m]> | Like this:... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/de37c55db2b4f6dd79e89873cdbea2cf542038e2>) |
| 22:24:31 | <geekosaur> | you're missing part of it, but you shhould still have gotten some output. (it is preferred to use `debugManageHook` as a config modifier) |
| 22:24:49 | <AskYourself[m]> | Ok, I'll remove this and add that. |
| 22:27:01 | <AskYourself[m]> | No change in output. |
| 22:29:02 | <geekosaur> | I wonder where your session log is going to then |
| 22:29:20 | <AskYourself[m]> | Idk. |
| 22:29:29 | <AskYourself[m]> | I think what I have is very standard though for NixOS. |
