-- $usage
-- 1. In your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Prompt
-- > import XMonad.Prompt.Shell
--
-- 2. In your keybindings add something like:
--
-- >   , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_x), shellPrompt defaultXPConfig)
--
-- For detailed instruction on editing the key binding see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".

-- | See safe and unsafeSpawn. prompt is an alias for safePrompt;
-- safePrompt and unsafePrompt work on the same principles, but will use
-- XPrompt to interactively query the user for input; the appearance is
-- set by passing an XPConfig as the second argument. The first argument
-- is the program to be run with the interactive input.
-- You would use these like this:
--
-- >     , ((modm,               xK_b), safePrompt "firefox" greenXPConfig)
-- >     , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_c), prompt ("xterm" ++ " -e") greenXPConfig)
--
-- Note that you want to use safePrompt for Firefox input, as Firefox
-- wants URLs, and unsafePrompt for the XTerm example because this allows
-- you to easily start a terminal executing an arbitrary command, like
-- 'top'.

{- | Ask the shell what browser the user likes. If the user hasn't defined any
   $BROWSER, defaults to returning \"firefox\", since that seems to be the most
   common X web browser.
   Note that if you don't specify a GUI browser but a textual one, that'll be a problem
   as 'getBrowser' will be called by functions expecting to be able to just execute the string
   or pass it to a shell; so in that case, define $BROWSER as something like \"xterm -e elinks\"
   or as the name of a shell script doing much the same thing. -}
