Send a window to another context

[franalbani]

I've just installed this and everything worked as the documentation said it will. This is something incredible for a repository 6 years old. Only seen with Haskell.

I'm starting to test it and the first thing I wanted to do is send a window to another context. Can this be done? It does not seem to be possible reading the API.

Thank you @Procrat !

Hi @franalbani! Great to hear people are still somehow finding this after so long! Out of curiosity, can I ask how you came across this repo?

There's no API for it at the moment indeed, but it seems pretty easy and a reasonable thing to want. Since this extension otherwise doesn't mess around with the windows and workspaces within a context (a WindowSet as XMonad calls it), I was thinking of perhaps having a function like modifyContext contextName modifyWS :: String -> (WindowSet -> WindowSet) -> X ()? Then you have full control really and you can choose e.g. which workspace you want to send the window to.

I can't promise I will have time to implement this anytime soon. If you're happy to try, feel free to implement it and send a PR along 😁

I don't remember. I may even have searched "xmonad contexts" directly.

Are you still using xmonad and xmonad-contexts?

I will try your suggestion! Thanks!

I will open more issues with more ides so you can comment.
