keeping a file of notes, things to remember for later, and so on---
using a keybinding, you can write things down just about as quickly
as you think of them, so it doesn't have to interrupt whatever else
you're doing.
</p><p>Who knows, it might be useful for other purposes as well!

</h1><div class="doc"><p>You can use this module by importing it, along with
<a href="XMonad-Prompt.html">XMonad.Prompt</a>, into your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file:
</p><pre> import XMonad.Prompt
import XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile
</pre><p>and adding an appropriate keybinding, for example:
</p><pre> , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_n), appendFilePrompt defaultXPConfig "/home/me/NOTES")
</pre><p>Additional notes can be added via regular Haskell or XMonad functions; for
example, to preface notes with the time they were made, one could write a
binding like
</p><pre> , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_n), do
spawn ("date>>"++"/home/me/NOTES")
appendFilePrompt defaultXPConfig "/home/me/NOTES"
)
</pre><p>(Put the spawn on the line after the prompt to append the time instead.)
</p><p>For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
