14:52:24 <CronyAkatsuki> hello, could I get some help with xmonad floating and mouse move/resize
14:53:07 <CronyAkatsuki> whenever I change move or resize a window it stays on top of any new window I spawn in simpleFloat layout
15:33:07 <[Leary]> CronyAkatsuki: The move/resize actions are turning your pretend floats into actual floats. You can re-tile them afterwards (mod-t) and I imagine they'll get to keep their new geometries. If it's a bother to do that manually every time, you should be able to work the re-tiling into the move/resize actions.
15:53:50 <CronyAkatsuki> [Leary]: is there any way to get what's the current workspace in xmonad? Or get what's the current layout so I can automate this in ther mouse bindings for when I'm on the simpleFloat layout?
16:04:21 <[Leary]> CronyAkatsuki: `gets ((== "Float") . description . layout . workspace . current . windowset)`
16:07:41 <[Leary]> I suppose you could use X.A.PerLayoutKeys for this, seems to be what it's for.
16:09:32 <[Leary]> E.g. `chooseActionByLayout \case{ "Float" -> ...; _ -> ... }`

19:57:25 <haskellbridge> <f​rankitox> Hello! Anyone knows if it's possible to switch workspace from the command line? ChatGPT suggests using `xdotool` which is useful to simulate keystrokes (not a solution I like). I've checked `man xmonad` but couldn't found anything relevant.
19:57:44 <haskellbridge> <f​rankitox> Hello! Anyone knows if it's possible to switch workspace from the command line? ChatGPT suggests using `xdotool` which is useful to simulate keystrokes (not a solution I like). I've checked `man xmonad` but couldn't find anything relevant.
20:01:01 <geekosaur> xdotool or wmctrl can do it via EWMH instead of via keystrokes, if you have EwmhDesktops enabled
20:05:09 <geekosaur> xdotool set_desktop desktopnumber, or wmctrl -s desktopname
20:06:19 <geekosaur> of the two, I prefer wmctrl because I don't have to look up a name-to-number mapping (which is most easily done with wmctrl anyway)
20:22:43 <haskellbridge> <f​rankitox> I had to make a little change to my xmonad config (importing `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops` and using `ewmh`), but it's working now :D. I've only tried xdotool, but I'll see which one to use. Thanks man 🙏
