-- $usage
-- 1. In Config.hs add:
--
-- > import XMonad.Prompt
-- > import XMonad.Prompt.Man
--
-- 2. In your keybindings add something like:
--
-- >     , ((modMask, xK_F1), manPrompt defaultXPConfig) -- mod-f1 %! Query for manual page to be displayed

-- %import XMonad.Prompt
-- %import XMonad.Prompt.Man
