🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• -m — Map (show) wid.
• -t — Toggle *wid*’s visibility.
• -u — Unmap (hide) wid.

and yes, the synopsis says wid [...], so it's ready for a whole lineup of windows. multiple besties, one command. 🫶

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

mapw acts on the X display specified by the DISPLAY variable. so it's not out here guessing — it checks DISPLAY and does its thing on that X display. slay. 🦋
