[xmonad] Escape key and multiple actions

[Hendrik Krauß]

Maybe sendKey could help you. Have you tried something like this?

import XMonad.Util.Paste
[ ((0, xK_u), do
        spawn "..."
        sendKey 0 xK_u
        ) ]

I tested it for a minute and it looks promising. Let us know what you find out.

Cheers,
Hendrik
