XMonad.Layout.Master

Contents

- Usage

Description

Layout modfier that adds a master window to another layout.

Synopsis

- mastered :: LayoutClass l a => Rational -> Rational -> l a -> ModifiedLayout AddMaster l a
- multimastered :: LayoutClass l a => Int -> Rational -> Rational -> l a -> ModifiedLayout AddMaster l a
- data AddMaster a

# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

     import XMonad.Layout.Master

Then edit your `layoutHook` and add the Master modifier to the layout that you prefer.

     mastered (1/100) (1/2) $ Grid

Or if you want multiple (here two) master windows from the beginning:

     multimastered 2 (1/100) (1/2) $ Grid

This will use the left half of your screen for a master window and let Grid manage the right half.

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see XMonad.Doc.Extending.

Like `Tall`, `withMaster` supports the `Shrink` and XMonad.Layout.Expand' messages.
