# My Xmonad Configuration (xmonad.hs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged
|
|
automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising
|
|
screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard:
|
|
a mouse is optional. xmonad is written, configured and extensible in
|
|
Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings and other extensions
|
|
may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied
|
|
dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each
|
|
workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled
|
|
on several physical screens.
|
|
|
|
This directory houses my personal xmonad configuration (xmonad.hs). To check out my config, you will need to have xmonad, xmonad-contrib and xmobar installed. Then you need to place the xmonad.hs file in ~/.xmonad or in ~/.config/xmonad/. Then recompile xmonad and restart xmonad.

# My Keybindings
|
|
|
|
The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key). I try to keep the
|
|
keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.
|
|
|
|
| Keybinding | Action |
|
|
| :--- | :--- |
|
|

|
|
| `MODKEY + TAB` | rotates through the available layouts |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + c` | closes window with focus |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + r` | restarts xmonad |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + q` | quits xmonad |
|
|
| `MODKEY + 1-9` | switch focus to workspace (1-9) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + 1-9` | send focused window to workspace (1-9) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + j` | windows focus down (switches focus between windows in the stack) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + k` | windows focus up (switches focus between windows in the stack) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + j` | windows swap down (swap windows in the stack) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + SHIFT + k` | windows swap up (swap the windows in the stack) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + h` | shrink window (decreases window width) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + l` | expand window (increases window width) |
|
|
| `MODKEY + w` | switches focus to monitor 1 |
|
|
