                                 -- * Usage
                                 -- $usage

import XMonad.Core
import XMonad.Util.Run

-- $usage
-- To use, import this module into @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- >     import XMonad.Actions.SimpleDate
--
-- and add a keybinding, for example:
--
-- >    , ((modm,               xK_d     ), date)
--
-- In this example, a popup date menu will now be bound to @mod-d@.
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
