-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Prompt
-- > import XMonad.Prompt.Layout
--
-- >   , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_m     ), layoutPrompt defaultXPConfig)
--
-- For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
--
-- WARNING: This prompt won't display all possible layouts, because the
-- code to enable this was rejected from xmonad core.  It only displays
-- layouts that are actually in use.  Also, you can only select layouts if
-- you are using NewSelect, rather than the Select defined in xmonad core
-- (which doesn't have this feature).  So all in all, this module is really
-- more a proof-of-principle than something you can actually use
-- productively.
