-- $usage
-- Bind a key to 'scratchpadSpawnAction'
-- Pressing it will spawn the terminal, or bring it to the current
-- workspace if it already exists.
-- Pressing the key with the terminal on the current workspace will
-- send it to a hidden workspace called @SP@.
--
-- If you already have a workspace called @SP@, it will use that.
-- @SP@ will also appear in xmobar and dzen status bars. You can tweak your
-- @dynamicLog@ settings to filter it out if you like.
--
-- A tool like detach (<http://detach.sourceforge.net>) turns it
-- into a launchpad for X apps.
--
-- By default, your xmonad terminal is used.
-- The default ManageHook uses a centered, half-screen-wide,
-- quarter-screen-tall window.
-- The key, position and size are configurable.
--
-- The terminal application must support the @-name@ argument.
-- Known supported terminals: rxvt, rxvt-unicode, xterm.
-- Most others are likely to follow the lead set by xterm.
--
-- Bind the following to a key in your xmonad.hs keybindings:
--
-- > scratchpadSpawnAction conf
--
-- Where @conf@ is the configuration.
--
-- And add one of the @scratchpadManageHook*@s to your ManageHook list.
-- The default rectangle is half the screen wide and a quarter of the
-- screen tall, centered.
--



-- | Action to pop up the terminal, for the user to bind to a custom key.
scratchpadSpawnAction :: XConfig l -- ^ The configuration, to retrieve the terminal
                      -> X ()
scratchpadSpawnAction conf =
    scratchpadAction $ spawn $ terminal conf ++ " -name scratchpad"


-- | Action to pop up the terminal, with a directly specified terminal.
scratchpadSpawnActionTerminal :: String -- ^ Name of the terminal program
                                 -> X ()
scratchpadSpawnActionTerminal term =
    scratchpadAction $ spawn $ term ++ " -name scratchpad"


-- | Action to pop up any program with the user specifying how to set
--   its resource to \"scratchpad\". For example, with gnome-terminal
--   bind the following to a key:
--
--   > scratchpadSpawnActionCustom "gnome-terminal --name scratchpad"
scratchpadSpawnActionCustom :: String -- ^ Command to spawn a program with resource \"scratchpad\"
                                 -> X ()
scratchpadSpawnActionCustom = scratchpadAction . spawn

-- The heart of the new summon/banish terminal.
-- The logic is thus:
-- 1. if the scratchpad is on the current workspace, send it to the hidden one.
--    - if the scratchpad workspace doesn't exist yet, create it first.
-- 2. if the scratchpad is elsewhere, bring it here.
