-- $usage
--
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.RotView
--
-- Then add appropriate key bindings, such as:
--
-- >   , ((modMask x .|. shiftMask, xK_Right), rotView True)
-- >   , ((modMask x .|. shiftMask, xK_Left), rotView False)
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".

-- | Cycle through non-empty workspaces.  True --> cycle in the forward
--   direction.  Note that workspaces cycle in order by tag, so if your
--   workspaces are not in tag-order, the cycling might seem wonky.
