-- $usage
-- Add this import to your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.SwapWorkspaces
--
-- Then throw something like this in your keys definition:
--
-- > ++
-- > [((modMask x .|. controlMask, k), windows $ swapWithCurrent i)
-- >     | (i, k) <- zip workspaces [xK_1 ..]]
--
-- After installing this update, if you're on workspace 1, hitting mod-ctrl-5
-- will swap workspaces 1 and 5.

-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see

-- This is an @X ()@ so can be hooked up to your keybindings directly.
