-- $usage
-- This module provides actions (that can be set as keybindings)
-- to automatically send the next spawned window(s) to the floating
-- layer.
--
-- You can use it by including the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.FloatNext
--
-- and adding 'floatNextHook' to your 'ManageHook':
--
-- > myManageHook = floatNextHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig
--
-- The 'floatNext' and 'toggleFloatNext' functions can be used in key
-- bindings to float the next spawned window:
--
-- > , ((modm, xK_e), toggleFloatNext)
--
-- 'floatAllNew' and 'toggleFloatAllNew' are similar but float all
-- spawned windows until disabled again.
--
-- > , ((modm, xK_r), toggleFloatAllNew)


-- | This 'ManageHook' will selectively float windows as set
-- by 'floatNext' and 'floatAllNew'.
floatNextHook :: ManageHook
floatNextHook = do (next, all) <- io $ takeMVar floatModeMVar
                   io $ putMVar floatModeMVar (False, all)
                   if next || all then doFloat else idHook


-- | @floatNext True@ arranges for the next spawned window to be
-- sent to the floating layer, @floatNext False@ cancels it.
floatNext :: Bool -> X ()
floatNext = _set first

toggleFloatNext :: X ()
toggleFloatNext = _toggle first

-- | @floatAllNew True@ arranges for new windows to be
-- sent to the floating layer, @floatAllNew False@ cancels it
floatAllNew :: Bool -> X ()
floatAllNew = _set second

toggleFloatAllNew :: X ()
toggleFloatAllNew = _toggle second


-- | Whether the next window will be set floating
willFloatNext :: X Bool
willFloatNext = _get fst

-- | Whether new windows will be set floating
willFloatAllNew :: X Bool
willFloatAllNew = _get snd


-- $pp
-- The following functions are used to display the current
-- state of 'floatNext' and 'floatAllNew' in your
-- 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.dynamicLogWithPP'.
-- 'willFloatNextPP' and 'willFloatAllNewPP' should be added
-- to the 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.ppExtras' field of your
-- 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.PP'.
--
-- Use 'runLogHook' to refresh the output of your 'logHook', so
-- that the effects of a 'floatNext'/... will be visible
-- immediately:
--
-- > , ((modm, xK_e), toggleFloatNext >> runLogHook)
--
-- The @String -> String@ parameters to 'willFloatNextPP' and
-- 'willFloatAllNewPP' will be applied to their output, you
-- can use them to set the text color, etc., or you can just
-- pass them 'id'.
