# Usage

Import the module into your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

     import XMonad.Actions.WindowBringer

and define appropriate key bindings:

     , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_g     ), gotoMenu)
     , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_b     ), bringMenu)

For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.

gotoMenu :: X ()
