-- $usage
-- 
-- To use, modify your Config.hs to:
--
-- >   import XMonadContrib.FindEmptyWorkspace
--
-- and add a keybinding:
--
--  >   , ((modMask,                xK_m    ), viewEmptyWorkspace)
--  >   , ((modMask .|. shiftMask,  xK_m    ), tagToEmptyWorkspace)
--
-- Now you can jump to an empty workspace with mod-m. Mod-shift-m will
-- tag the current window to an empty workspace and view it.


-- | Find the first hidden empty workspace in a StackSet. Returns
-- Nothing if all workspaces are in use. Function searches currently
-- focused workspace, other visible workspaces (when in Xinerama) and
-- hidden workspaces in this order.
