Minimize(d) windows: list, open from list, open all
The instructions on https://github.com/xmonad/X11 seem fairly straightforward, so I could update. But dealing with this library is not something I remember ever doing explicitly and is not mentioned (explicitly, at least) in the instructions have followed lately for (re)installing XMonad via stack (e.g., https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/master/INSTALL.md, https://github.com/slotThe/xmonad/blob/new-tutorial/INSTALL.md or https://brianbuccola.com/how-to-install-xmonad-and-xmobar-via-stack/). In fact, for Debian systems all that is suggested is an apt install of several packages. So I'd rather not try this experiment on my own right now since, in the past, I've sometimes been left with a mess that took me a while to get out from.

Minimize(d) windows: list, open from list, open all
Bullets 1 and 2 I could not do it. I think in your config (https://github.com/IvanMalison/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/config/xmonad/xmonad.hs), around lines 220-224 and then in 995 you do something similar, but I am not doing it right. This is my failed attempt: myDmenuArgs = ["-dmenu", "-i"] myDmenuMinimized = DM.menuArgs "rofi" myDmenuArgs getMinimizedDmenu = myDmenuMinimized (withMinimized)

Latest xmonad on NixOS
- The other way to solve this is what I do in my dotfiles, which is basically to make a small haskell project that is your xmonad-config (see https://github.com/IvanMalison/dotfiles/tree/master/dotfiles/config/xmonad) The reason I do this is because I really don't care for xmonads self recompilation feature, and I like to add some additional dependencies to my xmonad-config (this is also possible with their module, but just more annoying).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xmonad and dotfiles you can also consider the following projects:
