                                 ) where

import {-# SOURCE #-} Config (urgencyHook, logHook)
import Operations (windows)

-- $usage
-- To wire this up, add:
--
-- > import XMonadContrib.UrgencyHook
--
-- to your import list in Config. Change your defaultLayout such that
-- withUrgencyHook is applied along the chain. Mine, for example:
--
-- > layoutHook = Layout $ withUrgencyHook $ windowNavigation $
-- >                       Select layouts
--
-- It shouldn't hurt to have the "withUrgencyHook $" at the outermost layer,
-- as above, as UrgencyHook is a LayoutModifier, and hence passes on any
-- messages sent to it. Next, add your actual urgencyHook to Config. This
-- needs to take a Window and return an X () action. Here's an example:
--
-- > import XMonadContrib.Dzen
-- ...
-- > urgencyHook :: Window -> X ()
-- > urgencyHook = dzenUrgencyHook (5 `seconds`)
--
-- If you're comfortable with programming in the X monad, then you can build
-- whatever urgencyHook you like.  Finally, in order to make this compile,
-- open up your Config.hs-boot file and add the following to it:
--
-- > urgencyHook :: Window -> X ()
--
-- Compile!
--
-- You can also modify your logHook to print out information about urgent windows.
-- The functions readUrgents and withUrgents are there to help you with that.
-- No example for you.

-- | Focuses the most recently urgent window. Good for what ails ya -- I mean, your keybindings.
-- Example keybinding:
-- > , ((modMask              , xK_BackSpace), focusUrgent)
focusUrgent :: X ()
focusUrgent = withUrgents $ flip whenJust (windows . W.focusWindow) . listToMaybe

-- | Stores the global set of all urgent windows, across workspaces. Not exported -- use
-- @readUrgents@ or @withUrgents@ instead.
