wmctl
Rust X11 automation
wmctl
implements the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) specification
as a way to work along side EWMH compatible window managers as a companion. wmctl
provides the
ability to precisely define how windows should be shaped and placed and can fill in gaps for window
managers lacking some shaping or placement features. Mapping wmctl commands to user defined hot key
sequences will allow for easy window manipulation beyond what your favorite EWMH window manager
provides.

Usage
rustc >= 1.30 is required due to the tracing_subscriber requirements
$ wmctl -h
for cli help
Shape window
Shape the active window using the pre-defined small
shape which is a quarter of the screen.
$ wmctl shape small
Move window
Move the active window to the bottom left corner of the screen.
$ wmctl move bottom-left
Place window
Combine the shape and move into a single command by placing the window. First the window is shaped
using the pre-defined small
shape then it is moved to the bottom left of the screen in a single
operation.
$ wmctl place small bottom-left
