Window Close Hook in Xmonad

There's the manageHook which is called every time a new window is recognized by Xmonad.

Is there something similar for a window closing hook?

Solution

  • No, one does not exist.

    However, you can use handleEventHook listening for DestroyWindowEvent events. (Note, by default, two DestroyWindowEvent hooks are produced, one will have ev_window == ev_event, the other will have ev_event = the parent.)
