-- $usage
--
-- To use, import this module into your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- >   import XMonad.Actions.FindEmptyWorkspace
--
-- and add the desired keybindings, for example:
--
--  >   , ((modm,                xK_m    ), viewEmptyWorkspace)
--  >   , ((modm .|. 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.
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
