Installing XMonad (a tiling window manager, GPL and superior to Ion)

emerge layman
layman --fetch
layman -a haskell
echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

echo "dev-lang/ghc binary" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge xmonad
emerge xmonad-contrib

This should result in a version of XMonad 0.5 or higher. The absolute latest version can be installed if ‘xmonad-darcs’ and ‘xmonad-contrib-darcs’ are used, however this also means there is a good chance of the install failing due to broken code. The default install can be tested by adding ‘xmonad’ to ‘.xinitrc’ and running ’startx’.

Alt + Shift + Enter = new terminal
Alt + Shift + q = quit
Alt + j/k = cycle through windows
Alt + h/l = move center divide
Alt + Shift + c = close window
