Description | |||||||||||
A module for sending key presses to windows. This modules provides generalized and specialized functions for this task. | |||||||||||
Synopsis | |||||||||||
| |||||||||||
Usage | |||||||||||
Import this module into your xmonad.hs as usual: import XMonad.Util.Paste And use the functions. They all return X (), and so are appropriate for use as keybindings. Example: , ((m, xK_d), pasteString "foo bar") ] Don't expect too much of the functions; they probably don't work on complex texts. | |||||||||||
pasteSelection :: X () | |||||||||||
Paste the current X mouse selection. Note that this uses getSelection from XMonad.Util.XSelection and so is heir to its flaws. | |||||||||||
pasteString :: String -> X () | |||||||||||
Send a string to the window which is currently focused. This function correctly handles capitalization. | |||||||||||
pasteChar :: KeyMask -> Char -> X () | |||||||||||
Send a character to the current window. This is more low-level. Remember that you must handle the case of capitalization appropriately. That is, from the window's perspective: pasteChar mod2Mask 'F' ~> "f" You would want to do something like: pasteChar shiftMask 'F' Note that this function makes use of stringToKeysym, and so will probably have trouble with any Char outside ASCII. | |||||||||||
sendKey :: KeyMask -> KeySym -> X () | |||||||||||
sendKeyWindow :: KeyMask -> KeySym -> Window -> X () | |||||||||||
The primitive. Allows you to send any combination of KeyMask and KeySym to any Window you specify. | |||||||||||
noModMask :: KeyMask | |||||||||||
A null KeyMask. Used when you don't want a character or string shifted, control'd, or what. TODO: This really should be a function in the X11 binding. When noModMask shows up there, remove. | |||||||||||
