{- $description
    This module lets you combine and switch between different types of prompts (XMonad.Prompt). It includes a set of default modes:
    
       * Hoogle mode: Search for functions using hoogle, choosing a function leads you to documentation in Haddock.
       
       * Locate mode: Search for files using locate, choosing a file opens it with a program you specify depending on the file's extension.
       
       * Locate regexp: Same as locate mode but autocomplete works with regular expressions.  
       
       * Calc: Uses the program calc to do calculations.

    To use the default modes, modify your .xmonad:
   
    > import XMonad.Prompt(defaultXPConfig)
    > import XMonad.Actions.Launcher

    > ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_l), launcherPrompt kmelsXPConfig $ defaultLauncherModes launcherConfig)   
    
    A LauncherConfig contains settings for the default modes, modify them accordingly. 
    
    > launcherConfig = LauncherConfig { pathToHoogle = "/home/YOU/.cabal/bin/hoogle" , browser = "firefox" , actionsByExtension  = extensionActions }
    
@extensionActions :: M.Map String (String -> X())
extensionActions = M.fromList $ [
 (\".hs\", \p -> spawn $ \"emacs \" ++ p)
 , (\".pdf\", \p -> spawn $ \"acroread \" ++ p)
 , (\".*\", \p -> spawn $ \"emacs \" ++ p) --match with any files
 , (\"/\", \p -> spawn $ \"nautilus \" ++ p) --match with directories 
 ]@
 
 To try it, restart xmonad. Press Ctrl + Your_Modkey + L and the first prompt should pop up. 
 
 You can change mode with xK_grave if you used defaultXP or change the value of changeModeKey in your XPConfig-}

{- $todo  
     * Switch to mode by name of the prompt, 1. ':' at an empty(?) buffer, 2. autocomplete name in buffer should happen, 3. switch to mode with enter (cancel switch with C-g)
     
     * Support for actions of type String -> X a
     
     * Hoogle mode: add a setting in the action to either go to documentation or to the source code (needs hoogle change?)
     
     * Hoogle mode: add setting to query hoogle at haskell.org instead (with &mode=json)
