XMonad Config

About This Config

XMonad Scrot
XMonad Scrot

Xmonad is a dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and configured in Haskell.

This is the xmonad configuration of Derek Taylor (DistroTube)

Keep in mind, that my configs are purposely bloated with examples of what you can do with xmonad. It is written more as a study guide rather than a config that you should download and use.

NOTE: You will also need my xmobar config, which is located here: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.config/xmobar

Imports

These are Haskell modules that we must import so that we can use their functions later in the config.

Variables

It's nice to assign values to stuff that you will use more than once in the config. Setting values for things like font, terminal and editor means you only have to change the value here to make changes globally.

myFont :: String
myFont = "xft:SauceCodePro Nerd Font Mono:regular:size=9:antialias=true:hinting=true"

myModMask :: KeyMask
myModMask = mod4Mask        -- Sets modkey to super/windows key

myTerminal :: String
myTerminal = "alacritty"    -- Sets default terminal

myBrowser :: String
myBrowser = "qutebrowser "  -- Sets qutebrowser as browser

myEmacs :: String
myEmacs = "emacsclient -c -a 'emacs' "  -- Makes emacs keybindings easier to type

myEditor :: String
myEditor = "emacsclient -c -a 'emacs' "  -- Sets emacs as editor
-- myEditor = myTerminal ++ " -e vim "    -- Sets vim as editor

myBorderWidth :: Dimension
myBorderWidth = 2           -- Sets border width for windows

myNormColor :: String       -- Border color of normal windows
myNormColor   = colorBack   -- This variable is imported from Colors.THEME

myFocusColor :: String      -- Border color of focused windows
myFocusColor  = color15     -- This variable is imported from Colors.THEME

mySoundPlayer :: String
mySoundPlayer = "ffplay -nodisp -autoexit " -- The program that will play system sounds

windowCount :: X (Maybe String)
windowCount = gets $ Just . show . length . W.integrate' . W.stack . W.workspace . W.current . windowset

Autostart (The Startup Hook)

These are commands we want XMonad to execute on startup, such as running a compositor, setting our wallpaper, starting the emacs daemon, and starting our system tray and the applications that belong in it.

myStartupHook :: X ()
myStartupHook = do
  spawnOnce (mySoundPlayer ++ startupSound)
  spawn "killall conky"   -- kill current conky on each restart
  spawn "killall trayer"  -- kill current trayer on each restart
  spawnOnce "lxsession"
  spawnOnce "picom"
  spawnOnce "nm-applet"
  spawnOnce "volumeicon"
  spawnOnce "notify-log $HOME/.log/notify.log"
  spawn "/usr/bin/emacs --daemon" -- emacs daemon for the emacsclient

We killed any running conky and trayer processes earlier in the autostart, so now we sleep for 2 seconds and then restart conky and trayer.

  spawn ("sleep 2 && conky -c $HOME/.config/conky/xmonad/" ++ colorScheme ++ "-01.conkyrc")
  spawn ("sleep 2 && trayer --edge top --align right --widthtype request --padding 6 --SetDockType true --SetPartialStrut true --expand true --monitor 1 --transparent true --alpha 0 " ++ colorTrayer ++ " --height 22")

Select only ONE of the following four ways to set the wallpaper.

  spawnOnce "xargs xwallpaper --stretch < ~/.cache/wall"
  -- spawnOnce "~/.fehbg &"  -- set last saved feh wallpaper
  -- spawnOnce "feh --randomize --bg-fill /usr/share/backgrounds/dtos-backgrounds/*"  -- feh set random wallpaper
  -- spawnOnce "nitrogen --restore &"   -- if you prefer nitrogen to feh
  setWMName "LG3D"

Gridselect

GridSelect displays items (programs, open windows, etc.) in a 2D grid and lets the user select from it with the cursor/hjkl keys or the mouse.

Scratchpads

Allows to have several floating scratchpads running different applications. Import Util.NamedScratchpad and bind a key to namedScratchpadSpawnAction. In the example below, I have created named scratchpads for:

  • alacritty – my terminal
  • mocp – a terminal music player
  • qalculate-gtk – a nice calculator

                 l = 0.95 -w
    spawnMocp  = myTerminal ++ " -t mocp -e mocp"
    findMocp   = title =? "mocp"
    manageMocp = customFloating $ W.RationalRect l t w h
               where
                 h = 0.9
                 w = 0.9

                 w = 0.4
                 t = 0.75 -h
                 l = 0.70 -w

Layouts

Defining the layouts that I want to have available.

mySpacing :: Integer -> l a -> XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier.ModifiedLayout Spacing l a
mySpacing i = spacingRaw False (Border i i i i) True (Border i i i i) True

-- Below is a variation of the above except no borders are applied
-- if fewer than two windows. So a single window has no gaps.
mySpacing' :: Integer -> l a -> XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier.ModifiedLayout Spacing l a
mySpacing' i = spacingRaw True (Border i i i i) True (Border i i i i) True

-- Defining a bunch of layouts, many that I don't use.
-- limitWindows n sets maximum number of windows displayed for layout.
-- mySpacing n sets the gap size around the windows.

Workspaces

I have made my workspaces in xmobar "clickable." Clickable workspaces means the mouse can be used to switch workspaces. This requires xdotool to be installed. You need to use UnsafeStdInReader instead of simply StdInReader in your xmobar config so you can pass actions to it.

-- myWorkspaces = [" 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", " 6 ", " 7 ", " 8 ", " 9 "]
myWorkspaces = [" dev ", " www ", " sys ", " doc ", " vbox ", " chat ", " mus ", " vid ", " gfx "]
-- myWorkspaces =
--         " 1 : <fn=2>\xf111</fn> " :
--         " 2 : <fn=2>\xf1db</fn> " :
--         " 3 : <fn=2>\xf192</fn> " :
--         " 4 : <fn=2>\xf025</fn> " :
--         " 5 : <fn=2>\xf03d</fn> " :
--         " 6 : <fn=2>\xf1e3</fn> " :
--         " 7 : <fn=2>\xf07b</fn> " :
--         " 8 : <fn=2>\xf21b</fn> " :
--         " 9 : <fn=2>\xf21e</fn> " :
--         []
myWorkspaceIndices = M.fromList $ zipWith (,) myWorkspaces [1..] -- (,) == \x y -> (x,y)

clickable ws = "<action=xdotool key super+"++show i++">"++ws++"</action>"
    where i = fromJust $ M.lookup ws myWorkspaceIndices

Managehook

Sets some rules for certain programs. Examples include forcing certain programs to always float, or to always appear on a certain workspace. Forcing programs to a certain workspace with a doShift requires xdotool if you are using clickable workspaces. You need the className or title of the program. Use xprop to get this info.

  -- name of my workspaces and the names would be very long if using clickable workspaces.

  • menu-03.mp3
  • shutdown-01.mp3
  • shutdown-02.mp3
  • shutdown-03.mp3

soundDir = "/opt/dtos-sounds/" -- The directory that has the sound files

startupSound  = soundDir ++ "startup-01.mp3"
shutdownSound = soundDir ++ "shutdown-01.mp3"

NamedActions

NamedActions is a wrapper for keybinding configuration that can list the available keybindings. The following custom functions are used to add NamedActions to our keybindings in the format that I desired. subTitle' allows me to format the subtitle (subKeys) so that I can prepend and/or append text to them. showKeybindings is a function that pipes the output of our NamedActions into a GUI display program, such as 'yad' or 'zenity'.

subtitle' ::  String -> ((KeyMask, KeySym), NamedAction)
subtitle' x = ((0,0), NamedAction $ map toUpper
                      $ sep ++ "\n-- " ++ x ++ " --\n" ++ sep)
  where
    sep = replicate (6 + length x) '-'

showKeybindings :: [((KeyMask, KeySym), NamedAction)] -> NamedAction
showKeybindings x = addName "Show Keybindings" $ io $ do
  h <- spawnPipe $ "yad --text-info --fontname=\"SauceCodePro Nerd Font Mono 12\" --fore=#46d9ff back=#282c36 --center --geometry=1200x800 --title \"XMonad keybindings\""
  --hPutStr h (unlines $ showKm x) -- showKM adds ">>" before subtitles
  hPutStr h (unlines $ showKmSimple x) -- showKmSimple doesn't add ">>" to subtitles
  hClose h
  return ()

Keybindings

I am using the Xmonad.Util.EZConfig module which allows keybindings to be written in simpler, emacs-like format. The Super/Windows key is 'M' (the modkey). The ALT key is 'M1'. SHIFT is 'S' and CTRL is 'C'. Pay close attention to the way the keybindings list is formatted. Each group of keybindings must have a subKeys heading, and each individual keybinding must use addName to add a description. These headings and descriptions are needed for the keybindings list that can be launched with 'MOD-F1'.

A FEW KEYBINDINGS ASSOCIATED ACTION
MODKEY + RETURN opens terminal (alacritty)
MODKEY + SHIFT + RETURN opens run launcher (dmenu)
MODKEY + TAB rotates through the available layouts
MODKEY + SPACE toggles fullscreen on/off (useful for watching videos)
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 stack)
MODKEY + k windows focus up (switches focus between windows in 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 + period switches focus to next monitor
MODKEY + comma switches focus to prev monitor
MODKEY + r switches focus to monitor 3
MODKEY + period switch focus to next monitor
MODKEY + comma switch focus to prev monitor
MODKEY + SPACE toggles fullscreen on/off (useful for watching videos)
MODKEY + t force floating window back into tiling
MODKEY + F1 show a list of all keybindings in our xmonad config
