spawn package:xmonad-contrib
Select an application to spawn from a given list
Spawn an application and apply the manage hook when it opens.
Replacement for
spawn which launches application on current
workspace.
Replacement for
spawn which launches application on given
workspace.
Spawns a status bar and saves its PID together with the commands that
was used to start it. This is useful when the status bars should be
restarted with xmonad. Use this in combination with
killStatusBar.
Note: in some systems, multiple processes might start, even though one
command is provided. This means the first PID, of the group leader, is
saved.
Spawn a commandline thing, appending the window id to the prefix
string you provide. (Make sure to add a space if you need it.) Do your
crazy xcompmgr thing.
Spawn the specified dynamic scratchpad
spawn but the description is the string passed
Action to pop up specified named scratchpad, initially starting it on
the current workspace.
This function
almost always ignores its first argument; see
Note [Ignored Arguments] for
namedScratchpadAction.
Given a
ProcessConfig, remember it for spawning external
processes later on.
Launch an external application through the system shell and return a
Handle to its standard input. Note that the
Handle is a
text
Handle using the current locale encoding.
Same as
spawnPipe, but forces the
char8 encoding, so
unicode strings need
encodeString. Should never be needed, but
some X functions return already encoded Strings, so it may possibly be
useful for someone.
Same as
spawnPipe, but forces the UTF-8 encoding regardless of
locale.
When
spawnNamedPipe is executed with a command
String
and a name
String respectively. The command string is spawned
with
spawnPipe (as long as the name chosen hasn't been used
already) and the
Handle returned is saved in Xmonad's state
associated with the name
String.
Spawn the application once and apply the manage hook. Subsequent
attempts to spawn this application will be ignored.
Lanch the given application n times on the specified workspace.
Subsequent attempts to spawn this application will be ignored.
Like
spawnOnce but launches the application on the given
workspace.
The first time
spawnOnce is executed on a particular command,
that command is executed. Subsequent invocations for a command do
nothing.
Provides a way to modify a window spawned by a command(e.g shift it to
the workspace it was launched on) by using the _NET_WM_PID property
that most windows set on creation. Hence this module won't work on
applications that don't set this property.
