Xmonad

see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/73665/getting-xmonad-and-gnome-panel-working-with-fedora-18
Very Very Basic Usage
When you first start xmonad, you can open a terminal with Alt Shift Enter
Move focus with Alt + J and Alt + K
Change tiling modes with Alt + Space
Resize with Alt + H and Alt + L
Swap focused window with its next door neighbor with Alt + Shift + J and Alt + Shift + K
Close focused window with Alt + Shift + C
Log out with Alt + Shift + Q
Control number of windows displayed in master pane on left: Alt + . and Alt + ,
Workspace N switch with Alt + N
Configuration
The configuration file is not there by default
It is in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
Reconfigure after editing it with Alt + Q
Default/template configuration file:
<source lang="haskell"> -- -- xmonad example config file. -- -- A template showing all available configuration hooks, -- and how to override the defaults in your own xmonad.hs conf file. -- -- Normally, you'd only override those defaults you care about. --
import XMonad import System.Exit
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import qualified Data.Map as M
-- The preferred terminal program, which is used in a binding below and by -- certain contrib modules. -- myTerminal = "xterm"
-- Width of the window border in pixels. -- myBorderWidth = 1
-- modMask lets you specify which modkey you want to use. The default -- is mod1Mask ("left alt"). You may also consider using mod3Mask -- ("right alt"), which does not conflict with emacs keybindings. The -- "windows key" is usually mod4Mask. -- myModMask = mod1Mask
-- The mask for the numlock key. Numlock status is "masked" from the -- current modifier status, so the keybindings will work with numlock on or -- off. You may need to change this on some systems. -- -- You can find the numlock modifier by running "xmodmap" and looking for a -- modifier with Num_Lock bound to it: -- -- > $ xmodmap | grep Num -- > mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) -- -- Set numlockMask = 0 if you don't have a numlock key, or want to treat -- numlock status separately. -- myNumlockMask = mod2Mask
-- The default number of workspaces (virtual screens) and their names. -- By default we use numeric strings, but any string may be used as a -- workspace name. The number of workspaces is determined by the length -- of this list. -- -- A tagging example: -- -- > workspaces = ["web", "irc", "code" ] ++ map show [4..9] -- myWorkspaces = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"]
-- Border colors for unfocused and focused windows, respectively. -- myNormalBorderColor = "#dddddd" myFocusedBorderColor = "#ff0000"
-- Key bindings. Add, modify or remove key bindings here. -- myKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $

-- Move focus to the master window

-- Swap the focused window and the master window

-- Swap the focused window with the next window

-- Swap the focused window with the previous window

-- Shrink the master area
, ((modm, xK_h ), sendMessage Shrink)
-- Expand the master area
, ((modm, xK_l ), sendMessage Expand)
-- Push window back into tiling
, ((modm, xK_t ), withFocused $ windows . W.sink)
-- Increment the number of windows in the master area
, ((modm , xK_comma ), sendMessage (IncMasterN 1))
-- Deincrement the number of windows in the master area

-- Layouts:

-- Window rules:
