| 2026-04-24 16:14:48 | <geekosaur> | working with `keys` directly is generally painful and a bit tricky |
| 2026-04-24 16:16:22 | <geekosaur> | otherwise it sounds as if you have the parameters to `M.union` reversed… but they look right to me, as it's left-biased but your new keymap is on the left |
| 2026-04-24 16:17:58 | <geekosaur> | (also `withoutOld` is wrong as it's not including `shiftMask`, but that shouldn't matter here) |
| 2026-04-24 16:21:09 | <stefan> | geekosaur: this config is in the middle of my trial, sorry. Here is what it looked like when I started to try add logic in keybinding. https://paste.rs/FekhV |
| 2026-04-24 16:21:48 | <stefan> | It still has binding for "M-S-Return" which doesn't works: alacritty opens, not firefox |
| 2026-04-24 16:22:29 | <geekosaur> | those are the same paste |
| 2026-04-24 16:23:12 | <geekosaur> | (not just same url but same content) |
| 2026-04-24 16:23:13 | <stefan> | https://paste.rs/c4m4O |
| 2026-04-24 16:23:15 | <stefan> | sorry |
| 2026-04-24 16:25:23 | <geekosaur> | mm, I think the problem is actually somewhere else, your hook composition is wrong |
| 2026-04-24 16:26:17 | <stefan> | xmobar troubles? |
| 2026-04-24 16:27:42 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2026-04-24 16:29:03 | <geekosaur> | you have both X.H.DynamicLog (deprecated, provides the `xmobar` combinator) and `X.H.StatusBar` (new composable interface) loaded, and use the old one which ignores your `myXmobarPP` and probably gives you a mangled config |
| 2026-04-24 16:30:10 | <stefan> | I don't really understand what that ewmh magic does, but the variant with easySB doesn't make xmobar to appear. Will try to remove DynamicLog usages |
| 2026-04-24 16:30:19 | <geekosaur> | you may want to go through https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html and see how to do it properly, which should also fix the key bindings getting lost |
| 2026-04-24 16:31:06 | <geekosaur> | one of the problems with the old way was you could have silent errors that lost configuration information |
| 2026-04-24 16:31:33 | <geekosaur> | and were rather painful to debug |
| 2026-04-24 16:32:41 | <stefan> | thank you! |
| 2026-04-24 16:38:02 | <geekosaur> | (basically "." and ">>=" don't combine that way, and what they do when used together can be tricky to figure out) |
| 2026-04-24 16:38:39 | <geekosaur> | sorry, "=<<" but it's the same problem |
| 2026-04-24 16:43:57 | <stefan> | moved to . withEasySB (statusBarProp "xmobar" (pure def)) defToggleStrutsKey |
| 2026-04-24 16:44:00 | <stefan> | . withEasySB (statusBarProp "xmobar" (pure def)) defToggleStrutsKey |
| 2026-04-24 16:44:24 | <stefan> | moved to withEasySB (statusBarProp "xmobar" (pure def)) defToggleStrutsKey and xmobar disappeared |
| 2026-04-24 16:46:08 | <stefan> | with pure myXmobarPP instead of pure def same result |
| 2026-04-24 16:49:28 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> Does your xmobar read property? |
| 2026-04-24 16:50:22 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> statusBarProp "xmobar" ... says xmonad should write into "xmobar" but you need to configure xmobar to read that |
| 2026-04-24 16:50:54 | samhh_ | is now known as samhh |
| 2026-04-24 16:51:34 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> You usually do it with something like 'Run XMonadLog' (instead of Pipe) |

| 2026-04-24 16:54:49 | <geekosaur> | actually it's StdinReader that has to change to XMonadLog |
| 2026-04-24 16:55:11 | <geekosaur> | otherwise StdinReader will get EOF on the first read and xmobar will exit |
| 2026-04-24 16:55:38 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> <- did not remember the name |
| 2026-04-24 16:55:38 | <geekosaur> | but there are some other nasty things that can happen if you use StdinReader, which is why we moved away from it |
| 2026-04-24 16:56:13 | <stefan> | ijouw: where can I see how to configure xmobar to read from xmonad? |
| 2026-04-24 16:57:33 | <stefan> | should it be in xmobarPP or somewhere else? |

| 2026-04-24 17:05:51 | <geekosaur> | then STdinReader must be replaced with XMonadLog |
| 2026-04-24 17:05:58 | <stefan> | but it doesn't start with xmonad and if I manually run xmobar, the section with stdinReader is always "Updating..." |
| 2026-04-24 17:06:02 | <geekosaur> | *StdinReader |
| 2026-04-24 17:06:06 | <geekosaur> | case is significant |
| 2026-04-24 17:07:10 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> you can test xmonad output with 'xmobar -c "[Run XMonadLog]" -t "%XMonadLog%"' |

| 2026-04-24 17:17:13 | <haskellbridge> | <ijouw> did you put XMonadLog instead of StdinReader? |
| 2026-04-24 17:17:28 | <stefan> | yes |

| 2026-04-24 17:24:55 | <stefan> | ijouw, ah, I got it, function reads, and in template there should pe a placeholder with proper name. |
| 2026-04-24 17:24:59 | <stefan> | Thank you very much! |

| 2026-04-24 18:35:09 | <stefan> | because you can't use `readProcess` drectly, as xmonad ignores child process termination which breaks most of `System.Process`. use |
| 2026-04-24 18:35:34 | <stefan> | sorry, pasted by mistake. I'm back with the same problem |
| 2026-04-24 18:35:56 | <stefan> | now I have correct xmobar binding, and nothing should interrupt keybindings |
| 2026-04-24 18:36:26 | <stefan> | https://paste.rs/sCqdr but this still doesn't works |
| 2026-04-24 18:36:52 | <stefan> | i got M-S-Return from default config, it opens what is said in config.terminal, not spawns firefox |
| 2026-04-24 19:01:28 | <geekosaur> | seems to look okay |
| 2026-04-24 19:01:34 | <geekosaur> | do any of the other keybindings work? |
| 2026-04-24 19:03:29 | <geekosaur> | like, M-h normally moves the divider in `tiled`, but you rebound it to `prevWS`, which does it do? |

| 2026-04-24 19:52:49 | <stefan> | geekosaur: M-h perfectly dwitches tag, prevWS is executed |
| 2026-04-24 20:05:38 | <geekosaur> | oh! just realzed the problem. named keys have to be in angle brackets |
| 2026-04-24 20:05:47 | <geekosaur> | M-S-<Return> |
| 2026-04-24 20:06:36 | <geekosaur> | what you have is equivalent to: "M-S-R e t u r n" (which won't work unless somehow you have a key which unshifted sends uppercase R) |
