 More information on how to configure Xmonad can be found in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xmonad Arch Wiki], and a list of starter configs can be found in the [https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Config_archive Xmonad Config Archive].
-=== Configuring XMonad with IDE support ===
-To edit XMonad configuration with IDE support, see https://www.srid.ca/xmonad-conf-ide
-=== Another way to set up lsp support ===
-Previous way to set up lsp support didn't work for me.
-[https://discourse.nixos.org/t/haskell-language-server-support-for-xmonad/12348 This post] helped:
-==== if setting up xmonad with extra packages: ====
-{{file|~/.config/home-config.nix|nix|<nowiki>
-e.g:
-windowManager = {
-  xmonad = {
-    enable = true;
-    enableContribAndExtras = true;
-    extraPackages = haskellPackages: [
-      haskellPackages.dbus
-      haskellPackages.List
-      haskellPackages.monad-logger
-      haskellPackages.xmonad
-    ];
-  };
-};
-</nowiki>}}
-==== having ghc and other things for the lsp server in the system: ====
-{{file|~/.config/home-config.nix|nix|<nowiki>
-    home.packages = with pkgs; [
-      haskellPackages.haskell-language-server
-      haskellPackages.hoogle
-      cabal-install
-      stack
-    ]
-</nowiki>}}
-(but I'm not sure whether all of those are required, maybe only one of cabal \ stack?)
-==== creating project around `xmonad.hs` file ====
-{{file|~/.config/xmonad/hie-bios.sh|sh|<nowiki>
-echo "xmonad" >> $HIE_BIOS_OUTPUT
-</nowiki>}}
-{{file|~/.config/xmonad/hie.yaml|yaml|<nowiki>
-cradle:
-  bios:
-    program: "./hie-bios.sh"
-    with-ghc: "/nix/store/waa0dlvlszwbplrz5c7j674ab6v1n5wi-ghc-8.8.4-with-packages/bin/ghc"
-</nowiki>}}
-The "with-ghc" should be ghc that's in the "ghc-with-packages" dependency of the "xmonad-with-packages"
-It can be easily found with "nix-tree" utili, get with "nix-shell -p nix-tree"
-this shows dependencies between packages on the machine, "/" is for searching for "with-packages"
-see the store path in the bottom of the screen
-==== to check what are the problems ====
-I try to manually run "haskell-language-server" in the directory with `xmonad.hs`, `hie.yaml` and `hie-bios.sh`
-when there are no errors, my editor also successfully starts lsp
