💖 WMP(1) — bestie, it's the wmp page 💖

Okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for wmp, and she is lowkey iconic: she warps your mouse cursor. No cap, that's the whole main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmp — warp mouse cursor 🖱️💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmp [-ar <x> <y>] [wid]

Here's the vibe check on those pieces:

  • -a — absolute position mode, with <x> and <y> telling it where to go 👑
  • -r — relative position mode, with <x> and <y> doing the relative thing 🦋
  • <x> and <y> — the position values passed in, fr fr
  • [wid] — the optional wid slot sitting right there in the synopsis 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

wmp warps the cursor to an absolute or relative position, passed by x and y. Literally its whole job, and she ate. 🔥

It returns the position relative to the root window, or wid.

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

wmp acts on the X display specified by the DISPLAY variable. So yeah, that's the environment variable doing the behind-the-scenes work. 💜

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Here are the examples, copied exactly because we do not play with command accuracy around here:

$ wmp -a $(wattr xy $(pfw))

$ wmp -r 100 0

$ wmp -r -- -100 0

$ wmp 0x01600006
311 49

$ wmp
915 548

Not me noticing the -r -- -100 0 example — the -- is right there, bestie. Copy the example exactly and you're slaying. 💖
