-- Stability    : unstable

--
-- Provides a way to modify a window spawned by a command(e.g shift it to the workspace
-- it was launched on) by using the _NET_WM_PID property that most windows set on creation.
-- Hence this module won't work on applications that don't set this property.

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- >    import XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn
--
-- >    main = do
-- >      xmonad defaultConfig {
-- >         ...
-- >         manageHook = manageSpawn <+> manageHook defaultConfig
-- >         ...
-- >      }
--
-- To ensure that application appears on a workspace it was launched at, add keybindings like:
--
-- >  , ((mod1Mask,xK_o), spawnHere "urxvt")
-- >  , ((mod1Mask,xK_s), shellPromptHere defaultXPConfig)
--
-- The module can also be used to apply other manage hooks to the window of
-- the spawned application(e.g. float or resize it).
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
