# Usage

You can use this module with the following in your `~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs`:

    import XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition
    xmonad def { manageHook = insertPosition Master Newer <+> myManageHook }

You should you put the manageHooks that use `doShift` to take effect before `insertPosition`, so that the window order will be consistent. Because ManageHooks compose from right to left (like function composition `.`), this means that `insertPosition` should be the leftmost ManageHook.

insertPosition :: Position -> Focus -> ManageHook #

insertPosition. A manage hook for placing new windows. XMonad's default is the same as using: `insertPosition Above Newer`.
