XMonad.Layout.MosaicAlt

Contents

- Usage:

Description

A layout which gives each window a specified amount of screen space relative to the others. Compared to the `Mosaic` layout, this one divides the space in a more balanced way.

Synopsis

- data MosaicAlt a = MosaicAlt Params
- shrinkWindowAlt :: Window -> HandleWindowAlt
- expandWindowAlt :: Window -> HandleWindowAlt
- tallWindowAlt :: Window -> HandleWindowAlt
- wideWindowAlt :: Window -> HandleWindowAlt
- resetAlt :: HandleWindowAlt
- type Params = Map Window Param
- data Param
- data HandleWindowAlt

# Usage:

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

     import XMonad.Layout.MosaicAlt
     import qualified Data.Map as M

Then edit your `layoutHook` by adding the MosaicAlt layout:

     myLayout = MosaicAlt M.empty ||| Full ||| etc..
     main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:

XMonad.Doc.Extending

In the key-bindings, do something like:

         , ((modm .|. shiftMask  , xK_a    ), withFocused (sendMessage . expandWindowAlt))
         , ((modm .|. shiftMask  , xK_z    ), withFocused (sendMessage . shrinkWindowAlt))
         , ((modm .|. shiftMask  , xK_s    ), withFocused (sendMessage . tallWindowAlt))
         , ((modm .|. shiftMask  , xK_d    ), withFocused (sendMessage . wideWindowAlt))
         , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_space), sendMessage resetAlt)
         ...
