Using escape key to close Dunst notifications

[wgmayer0]

How would I implement this in xmonad? dunst-project/dunst#978 (comment)

[geekosaur]

Assuming you're using the config @slotThe gave you here, you would add something like this to the list of actions after additionalKeysP:

    ,("<Escape>", spawn "[[ $(dunstctl count displayed) != 0 ]] && dunstctl close || xdotool key Escape")

Note the caveat I posted in the original issue, though. This is also documented in the xdotool manual.

import XMonad
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W

main = xmonad $ def
        { modMask = mod4Mask
        , terminal = "xterm -e vifm -c empty /home/wgm"
        , borderWidth = 0
        , layoutHook = Full ||| tiled ||| Mirror tiled
        }
      `additionalKeysP`
        [
        ("M-S-<Space>", gets windowset >>= mapM_ (windows . W.shiftWin "1") . W.allWindows)
        ,("<Escape>", spawn "[[ $(dunstctl count displayed) != 0 ]] && dunstctl close || xdotool key Escape")
        ]

tiled = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)

Unfortunately, this did not do anything. Compiles fine. No action when the escape key is pressed.

Possibly you need to import XMonad.Util.Ungrab and replace spawn with unGrab >> spawn.

[wgmayer0]

No luck.

import XMonad
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig (additionalKeysP)
import XMonad.Util.Ungrab
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W

main :: IO ()
main = xmonad $ def
        { modMask = mod4Mask
        , terminal = "xterm -e vifm -c empty /home/wgm"
        , borderWidth = 0
        , layoutHook = Full ||| tiled ||| Mirror tiled
        }
      `additionalKeysP`
        [ ("M-S-<Space>", gets windowset >>= mapM_ (windows . W.shiftWin "1") . W.allWindows)
        , ("<Escape>", unGrab >> spawn "[[ $(dunstctl count displayed) != 0 ]] && dunstctl close || xdotool key Escape")
        ]

tiled = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)

Compiles fine:

$ xmonad --recompile
XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because "/home/wgm/.xmonad/build" does not exist.
XMonad recompilation process exited with success!

Then I will echo @slotThe in the other thread: did you restart xmonad afterward? Use xmonad --restart to do this, if you're working from the command line instead of using mod-Q.

[wgmayer0]

Wow rookie mistake! I just needed to restart: xmonad --restart
