Makes it possible to minimize windows, temporarily removing them from the layout until they are restored.
- minimize :: LayoutClass l Window => l Window -> ModifiedLayout Minimize l Window
- minimizeWindow :: Window -> X ()
- data MinimizeMsg
- data Minimize a
Usage
You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
:
import XMonad.Layout.Minimize
Then edit your layoutHook
by adding the Minimize layout modifier:
myLayout = minimize (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc.. main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }
For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
In the key-bindings, do something like:
, ((modm, xK_m ), withFocused minimizeWindow) , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_m ), sendMessage RestoreNextMinimizedWin)
The first action will minimize the focused window, while the second one will restore the next minimized window.
For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see:
The module is designed to work together with XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows so
that minimized windows will be skipped over when switching the focused window with
the keyboard. Include boringWindows
in your layout hook and see the
documentation of XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows on how to modify your keybindings.
Also see XMonad.Hooks.Minimize if you want to be able to minimize and restore windows from your taskbar.
