-- $overview
-- Inspired by @TopicSpace@, @DynamicWorkspaces@, and @WorkspaceDir@,
-- @DynamicProjects@ treats workspaces as projects while maintaining
-- compatibility with all existing workspace-related functionality in
-- XMonad.
--
-- Instead of using generic workspace names such as @3@ or @work@,
-- @DynamicProjects@ allows you to dedicate workspaces to specific
-- projects and then switch between projects easily.
--
-- A project is made up of a name, working directory, and a start-up
-- hook. When you switch to a workspace, @DynamicProjects@ changes
-- the working directory to the one configured for the matching
-- project. If the workspace doesn't have any windows, the project's
-- start-up hook is executed. This allows you to launch applications
-- or further configure the workspace/project. To close a project,
-- you can use the functions provided by "XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces",
-- such as @removeWorkspace@ or @removeWorkspaceByTag@.
--
-- When using the @switchProjectPrompt@ function, workspaces are
-- created as needed. This means you can create new project spaces
-- (and therefore workspaces) on the fly. (These dynamic projects are
-- not preserved across restarts.)
--
-- Additionally, frequently used projects can be configured statically
-- in your XMonad configuration. Doing so allows you to configure the
-- per-project start-up hook.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- $usage
-- To use @DynamicProjects@ you need to add it to your XMonad
-- configuration and then configure some optional key bindings.
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects
--
-- Start by defining some projects:
--
-- > projects :: [Project]
-- > projects =
-- > [ Project { projectName = "scratch"
-- > , projectDirectory = "~/"
-- > , projectStartHook = Nothing
-- > }
-- >
-- > , Project { projectName = "browser"
-- > , projectDirectory = "~/download"
-- > , projectStartHook = Just $ do spawn "conkeror"
-- > spawn "chromium"
-- > }
-- > ]
--
-- Then inject @DynamicProjects@ into your XMonad configuration:
--
-- > main = xmonad $ dynamicProjects projects def
--
-- And finally, configure some optional key bindings:
--
-- > , ((modm, xK_space), switchProjectPrompt def)
-- > , ((modm, xK_slash), shiftToProjectPrompt def)
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- <https://xmonad.org/TUTORIAL.html#customizing-xmonad the tutorial>.
