                             -- * Usage
                             -- $usage
                             submap
                            ) where

{- $usage
Allows you to create a sub-mapping of keys. Example:

>    , ((modMask, xK_a), submap . M.fromList $
>        [ ((0, xK_n),     spawn "mpc next")
>        , ((0, xK_p),     spawn "mpc prev")
>        , ((0, xK_z),     spawn "mpc random")
>        , ((0, xK_space), spawn "mpc toggle")
>        ])

So, for example, to run 'spawn \"mpc next\"', you would hit mod-a (to trigger the
submapping) and then 'n' to run that action. (0 means \"no modifier\"). You are,
of course, free to use any combination of modifiers in the submapping. However,
anyModifier will not work, because that is a special value passed to XGrabKey()
and not an actual modifier.
