How to modify order of tabbed windows in XMonad?

I'm using tabbed and I would like to change behavior so that the new window is created on the right side (like browser tabs).

I see no easy way to do this. Do I need to write a new layout?

Solution

  • http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.13/docs/XMonad-Hooks-InsertPosition.html

    You need to set this on your config's manageHook:

    import XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition

... manageHook = insertPosition End Newer <+> myManageHook

    The type signature of insertFunction is Position -> Focus -> ManageHook. In plain English: it is a function that takes a Focus and Position (in this case End and Newer), and it returns a ManageHook.
