osxmonad

This is a library which allows XMonad to manage Mac OS X windows.

Status

• Only pure layouts work (i.e. Tall)
• Only attached hook is layoutHook
• No moving windows around
• No keyboard shortcuts
• No workspaces
• No borders
• No focusFollowsMouse
• Crashes

Installation

We need XMonad's compilation step to include the -framework Cocoa flag to GHC. This repository includes a xmonad.patch (1 line diff) that you must apply to the XMonad source:

darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad
cd xmonad
darcs apply ../osxmonad/xmonad.patch
cabal configure
cabal install

Configuration

Create ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:

import XMonad
import OSXMonad.Core

main = osxmonad defaultConfig {
         layoutHook = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)
       }

Now we can run xmonad to have our windows managed.
