v0.18.2

Breaking Changes

• Drop support for GHC 8.6

New Modules

• XMonad.Util.StickyWindows

  • Stick windows on screens so they follow you across desktops.

Bug Fixes and Minor Changes

• XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer

  • Make sure functions that internally use their …Args versions
    pass on the default dmenu arguments.

    These are also now exported as defaultDMenuArgs for users using
    the …Args versions but want to augment instead of replacing the
    default dmenu arguments.

    For users, the visible change will be that bringMenu and copyMenu
    now behave identically to gotoMenu, as expected, instead of being
    case sensitive. Users who might have been relying on the incorrect
    behavior should replace *Menu with *MenuArgs [].

• XMonad.Util.XSelection

  • Added getClipboard to query the X clipboard.
    Also added getSecondarySelection.

• XMonad.Util.EZConfig

  • Added XF86WLAN and Menu to the list of supported special keys.

• XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects

  • No longer autodelete projects when switchProject is called from
    an empty workspace. This also fixes a bug where static workspaces
    would be deleted when switching to a dynamic project.
  • Improved documentation on how to close a project.

• XMonad.Hooks.Rescreen

  • Allow overriding the rescreen operation itself. Additionally, the
    XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreens module now provides an alternative
    implementation of rescreen that avoids reshuffling the workspaces if
    the number of screens doesn't change and only their locations do (which
    is especially common if one uses xrandr --setmonitor to split an
    ultra-wide display in two).

  • Added an optional delay when waiting for events to settle. This may be
    used to avoid flicker and unnecessary workspace reshuffling if multiple
    xrandr commands are used to reconfigure the display layout.

• XMonad.Layout.NoBorders

  • It's no longer necessary to use borderEventHook to garbage collect
    alwaysHidden/neverHidden lists. The layout listens to
    DestroyWindowEvent messages instead, which are broadcast to layouts
    since xmonad v0.17.0.

• XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops

  • Added a customization option for the action that gets executed when
    a client sends a _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP request. It is now possible
    to change it using the setEwmhSwitchDesktopHook.

  • Added a customization option for mapping hidden workspaces to screens
    when setting the _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT. This can be done using
    the setEwmhHiddenWorkspaceToScreenMapping.

  • Added support for _NET_WM_STATE_{ABOVE,BELOW} to place windows
    correctly.

• XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens

  • Added focusWorkspace for focusing workspaces on the screen that they
    belong to.
  • Added doFocus' hook as an alternative for doFocus when using
    IndependentScreens.
  • Added screenOnMonitor for getting the active screen for a monitor.

• XMonad.Util.NamedScratchPad

  • Fix unintended window hiding in nsSingleScratchpadPerWorkspace.
    Only hide the previously active scratchpad.

• XMonad.Actions.Search

  • Added multiChar, combineChar, and prefixAwareChar as
    slightly generalised versions of prefixAware and (!>) that
    allow specifying the character that separates a search engine's
    prefix with the query when combining engines.

  • Added the ecosia search engine.

• XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks

  • Added onAllDocks to run an action on all recognised docks.
