XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreens

Manipulate screens ordered by physical location instead of ID

Usage

This module allows you name Xinerama screens from XMonad using their physical location relative to each other (as reported by Xinerama), rather than their ScreenID s, which are arbitrarily determined by your X server and graphics hardware.

Screens are ordered by the upper-left-most corner, from top-to-bottom and then left-to-right.

Example usage in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file:

import XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreens

, ((modMask, xK_a), onPrevNeighbour W.view)
, ((modMask, xK_o), onNextNeighbour W.view)
, ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_a), onPrevNeighbour W.shift)
, ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_o), onNextNeighbour W.shift)

--
-- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3
-- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
--
[((modm .|. mask, key), f sc)
    | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..]
    , (f, mask) <- [(viewScreen, 0), (sendToScreen, shiftMask)]]
