-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad hiding ((|||))
-- > import XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators ((|||))
-- > import XMonad.Actions.CycleSelectedLayouts
--
-- >   , ((modMask x,  xK_t ),   cycleThroughLayouts ["Tall", "Mirror Tall"])
--
-- Make sure you are using NewSelect from XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators,
-- rather than the Select defined in xmonad core.
