-- $usage
-- Provides two new kinds of 'ManageHooks' that can be defined at runtime.
--
-- * One-shot 'ManageHooks' that are deleted after they execute.
--
-- * Permanent 'ManageHooks' (unless you want to destroy them)
--
-- Note that you will lose all dynamically defined 'ManageHook's when you @mod+q@!
-- If you want them to last, you should create them as normal in your @xmonad.hs@.
--
-- To use this module, add 'dynamicMasterHook' to your 'manageHook':
--
-- > xmonad { manageHook = myManageHook <+> dynamicMasterHook }
--
-- You can then use the supplied functions in your keybindings:
--
-- > ((modMask,xK_a), oneShotHook (className =? "example") doFloat)
--

instance ExtensionClass DynamicHooks where
    initialValue = DynamicHooks [] idHook

-- this hook is always executed, and the contents of the stored hooks checked.
-- note that transient hooks are run second, therefore taking precedence
-- over permanent ones on matters such as which workspace to shift to.
-- doFloat and doIgnore are idempotent.
-- | Master 'ManageHook' that must be in your @xmonad.hs@ 'ManageHook'.
