-- This module has functions to navigate through workspaces in a bidimensional
-- manner.  It allows the organization of workspaces in lines, and provides
-- functions to move and shift windows in all four directions (left, up, right
-- and down) possible in a surface.
--
-- This functionality was inspired by GNOME (finite) and KDE (infinite)
-- keybindings for workspace navigation, and by "XMonad.Actions.CycleWS" for
-- the idea of applying this approach to XMonad.

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@ file:
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.Plane
-- >
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig {keys = myKeys}
-- >
-- > myKeys conf = union (keys defaultConfig conf) $ myNewKeys conf
-- >
-- > myNewkeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = planeKeys modm (Lines 3) Finite
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".

-- | Direction to go in the plane.
data Direction =  ToLeft | ToUp | ToRight | ToDown deriving Enum

-- | Defines the behaviour when you're trying to move out of the limits.
data Limits
    = Finite   -- ^ Ignore the function call, and keep in the same workspace.
    | Circular -- ^ Get on the other side, like in the Snake game.
    | Linear   -- ^ The plan comes as a row, so it goes to the next or prev if
               -- the workspaces were numbered.
    deriving Eq

-- | The number of lines in which the workspaces will be arranged.  It's
-- possible to use a number of lines that is not a divisor of the number of
-- workspaces, but the results are better when using a divisor.  If it's not a
-- divisor, the last line will have the remaining workspaces.
data Lines
    = GConf     -- ^ Use @gconftool-2@ to find out the number of lines.
    | Lines Int -- ^ Specify the number of lines explicitly.

-- | This is the way most people would like to use this module.  It attaches the
-- 'KeyMask' passed as a parameter with 'xK_Left', 'xK_Up', 'xK_Right' and
-- 'xK_Down', associating it with 'planeMove' to the corresponding 'Direction'.
-- It also associates these bindings with 'shiftMask' to 'planeShift'.
