+-- === How do I use the old keyboard syntax?
+-- You can use 'apply' and supply your own Haskell function. For instance:
+--
+-- > apply $ flip additionalKeys $ [((mod1Mask, xK_z), spawn "date | dzen2 -fg '#eeeeee' -p 2")]
+--
+-- === How do I run command before xmonad starts (like 'spawnPipe')?
+-- If you're using it for a status bar, see if 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.dzen'
+-- or 'XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog.xmobar' does what you want. If so, you can apply
+-- it with 'applyIO'.
+--
+-- If not, you can write your own @XConfig l -> IO (XConfig l)@ and apply it
+-- with 'applyIO'. When writing this function, see the above tip about using
+-- normal monads.
