[xmonad] DynamicProjects: creating a new project that partially matches predefined project

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Thanks, but I tried and it does not seem to solve it. These are the relevant bits of my xmonad.hs

myProjectConfig = def {
         font            = "xft:Inconsolata:size=14:bold:antialias=true"
       , position        = CenteredAt (1/2) (1/2)
       , fgColor         = "White"
       , bgColor         = "#454545"
       , height          = 36
       , searchPredicate = fuzzyMatch
       , sorter          = fuzzySort
       , autoComplete    = Nothing
       }
       
("M-w", switchProjectPrompt myProjectConfig)

I've commented out the fuzzyMatch and fuzzSort , but that does not help. 

Best,

R.
