        -- * Usage
        -- $usage
        minimize,
        MinimizeMsg(..)
    ) where

import XMonad

import XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier
import XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows as BW
import Data.List

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Layout.Minimize
--
-- Then edit your @layoutHook@ by adding the Minimize layout modifier:
--
-- > myLayouts = minimize (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)) ||| Full ||| etc..
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts }
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
--
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_the_layout_hook"
--
-- In the key-bindings, do something like:
--
-- >        , ((modMask',               xK_m     ), withFocused (\f -> sendMessage (MinimizeWin f)))
-- >        , ((modMask' .|. shiftMask, xK_m     ), sendMessage RestoreNextMinimizedWin)
--
-- The first action will minimize the focused window, while the second one will restore
-- the next minimized window.
--
-- For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see:
--
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
--
-- The module is designed to work together with XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows so
-- that minimized windows are marked as boring and will be skipped when switching
-- the focused window. See the documentation for BoringWindows and use the boringAuto
-- function, to automatically mark minimized windows as boring.
--
-- Also see XMonad.Hooks.RestoreMinimized if you want to be able to restore
-- minimized windows from your taskbar.
