{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, TypeSynonymInstances #-} {- | Module : XMonad.Layout.FocusTracking Description : Track focus in the tiled layer. Copyright : (c) 2010 & 2013 Adam Vogt 2011 Willem Vanlint 2018 & 2022 L.S.Leary License : BSD-style (see xmonad/LICENSE) Maintainer : @LSLeary (on github) Stability : unstable Portability : unportable FocusTracking simply holds onto the last true focus it was given and continues to use it as the focus for the transformed layout until it sees another. It can be used to improve the behaviour of a child layout that has not been given the focused window, or equivalently, that of the layout itself when a float has focus.
