-- $overview
-- This module allows to organize your workspaces on a precise topic basis.  So
-- instead of having a workspace called `work' you can setup one workspace per
-- task.  Here we call these workspaces, topics. The great thing with
-- topics is that one can attach a directory that makes sense to each
-- particular topic.  One can also attach an action which will be triggered
-- when switching to a topic that does not have any windows in it.  So you can
-- attach your mail client to the mail topic, some terminals in the right
-- directory to the xmonad topic... This package also provides a nice way to
-- display your topics in an historical way using a custom `pprWindowSet'
-- function. You can also easily switch to recent topics using this history
-- of last focused topics.

-- $usage
-- Here is an example of configuration using TopicSpace:
--
-- @
-- -- The list of all topics/workspaces of your xmonad configuration.
-- -- The order is important, new topics must be inserted
-- -- at the end of the list if you want hot-restarting
-- -- to work.
