--
-- Ordinary layout transformers are simple and easy to use but inflexible.
-- This module provides a more structured interface to them.
--
-- The basic idea is to have a base layout and a set of layout transformers,
-- of which at most one is active at any time. Enabling another transformer
-- first disables any currently active transformer; i.e. it works like
-- a group of radio buttons.
--
-- A side effect of this meta-layout is that layout transformers no longer
-- receive any messages; any message not handled by @SwitchTrans@ itself will
-- undo the current layout transformer, pass the message on to the base layout,
-- then reapply the transformer.
--
-- Another potential problem is that functions can't be (de-)serialized so this
-- layout will not preserve state across xmonad restarts.
--
-- Here's how you might use this in Config.hs:
--
-- > layouts =
-- >     map (
-- >         mkSwitch (M.fromList [
-- >             ("full", const $ Layout $ noBorders Full)
-- >         ]) .
-- >         mkSwitch (M.fromList [
-- >             ("mirror", Layout . Mirror)
-- >         ])
-- >     ) [ Layout tiled ]
--
-- (The @noBorders@ transformer is from "XMonadContrib.NoBorders".)
--
-- This example is probably overkill but it's very close to what I actually use.
-- Anyway, this layout behaves like the default @tiled@ layout, until you send it
-- @Enable@\/@Disable@\/@Toggle@ messages. From the definition of @keys@:
--
-- > ...
-- >    , ((modMask,               xK_f     ), sendMessage $ Toggle "full")
-- >    , ((modMask,               xK_r     ), sendMessage $ Toggle "mirror")
--
-- (You may want to use other keys. I don't use Xinerama so the default mod-r
-- binding is useless to me.)
--
-- After this, pressing @mod-f@ switches the current window to fullscreen mode.
-- Pressing @mod-f@ again switches it back. Similarly, @mod-r@ rotates the layout
-- by 90 degrees (and back). The nice thing is that your changes are kept:
-- Rotating first then changing the size of the master area then rotating back
-- does not undo the master area changes.
--
-- The reason I use two stacked @SwitchTrans@ transformers instead of @mkSwitch
-- (M.fromList [(\"full\", const $ Layout $ noBorders Full), (\"mirror\",
-- Layout . Mirror)])@ is that I use @mod-f@ to \"zoom in\" on interesting
-- windows, no matter what other layout transformers may be active. Having an
-- extra fullscreen mode on top of everything else means I can zoom in and out
-- without implicitly undoing \"normal\" layout transformers, like @Mirror@.
-- Remember, inside a @SwitchTrans@ there can be at most one active layout
-- transformer.
