-- You can use this module with the following in your
-- @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.ServerMode
--
-- Then edit your @handleEventHook@ by adding the appropriate event hook from below

-- | Executes a command of the list when receiving its index via a special ClientMessageEvent
-- (indexing starts at 1). Sending index 0 will ask xmonad to print the list of command numbers
-- in stderr (so that you can read it in @~\/.xsession-errors@). Uses "XMonad.Actions.Commands#defaultCommands" as the default.
--
-- > main = xmonad def { handleEventHook = serverModeEventHook }
-- 
-- > xmonadctl 0 # tells xmonad to output command list
-- > xmonadctl 1 # tells xmonad to switch to workspace 1
