I think it’s about time I post my updated XMonad configuration. This version does not require any patches, at XMonad 0.9 supports modular configurations natively.

New highlights:

• The application pager now uses icons
• Per application configuration.
• Minimize windows by using special workspaces

Note that I have converted my Colemak key bindings to Qwerty to give an idea of the placement I use. Also note that this work is not finished. There are still lot of things I want to behave differently, and I need to do some cleanup here and there.

Still, I hope you can get inspired by some of my ideas. Enjoy

Using Keyconfig

If you use many web applications like GMail and Remember the Milk, you may want to get access to them using a single key binding. In Firefox you can use the following snippet together with the Keyconfig extension to

• cycle between all tabs matching the regular expression re
• if no tab matches, open a new tab showing url

function openOrCycle(url, re) {
    var wm = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"]
        .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);
    var browserEnumerator = wm.getEnumerator("navigator:browser");

    // Check each browser instance for our URL
    var found = false;
    while (!found && browserEnumerator.hasMoreElements()) {
        var browserWin = browserEnumerator.getNext();
        var tabbrowser = browserWin.gBrowser;

I have been using XMonad for about a year now and have finally put myself together to upload my customizations. Highlights:

• Labeled pager addon for DynamicLog
• Fast navigation between workspaces
• Application specific border colors
• Modified Scratchpad using GNU Screen
• Host specific settings (layouts and widgets)

To use these modules, you must put them in ~/.xmonad and then reenable support for user modules in your xmonad source. Simply look for a line in Core.hs containing runProces “ghc” ["--make", "xmonad.hs" ...] and remove the “-i” entry from the list. This switch was unfortunately added to fix a bug on case insensitive file systems. Note that a solution is under development, placing user modules in ~/.xmonad/lib, thus solving the issue with case insensitive systems, see issue 230.

I will try to make some darcs patches for xmonad-contrib if I get time. Until then, I hope you can get inspired by some of my ideas. Enjoy
