Xmonad/Config archive/Don's xmonad.hs

Configuration files get much simpler in xmonad 0.5, as you just override those values you need to.

This is the ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file.

import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import XMonad.Prompt
import XMonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise
import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName

main = do
    conf <- dzen defaultConfig
    xmonad $ conf
        { terminal    = "term"
        , startupHook = setWMName "LG3D" }
         `additionalKeys`
        [ ((modMask conf , xK_p), runOrRaisePrompt defaultXPConfig { position = Top })]

Launches dzen on startup, with some good defaults.

My .xinitrc:

# .xinitrc

xrandr -s 0

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
xsetroot -solid '#80a0af'

xset b 100 0 0
xset r rate 140 200

xmodmap -e "keycode 233 = Page_Down"
xmodmap -e "keycode 234 = Page_Up"
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"
xmodmap -e "add Control = Control_L"
