✨ NAME ✨

WMUTILS(1) — okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for wmutils, and wmutils is literally a window manipulation utilities situation. Bestie, that's the whole name vibe: wmutils — window manipulation utilities. 🪟💅

🪟 DESCRIPTION 🪟

So wmutils is a compilation of utilities for manipulating windows in X. That's it, that's the lore. It's a little toolkit squad for X windows, and each command does its own specific thing. No cap. ✨

🛠️ COMMANDS 🛠️

Here's the whole crew, one bullet each, no skips:

  • chwb — change window's border. It's giving border glow-up. 🎀
  • chwso — change window's stacking order. Stacking order, but make it fashion. 🦋
  • ignw — ignore/unignore window. Bestie can literally be ignored or unignored. 🙈
  • killw — kill windows. Dramatic? Maybe. Iconic? Also maybe. 💀
  • lsw — list windows. A little window roster moment. 📋
  • mapw — map/unmap windows. Mapping and unmapping, very main character energy. 🗺️
  • pfw — print focused window. Tell me who's focused, periodt. 👑
  • pdw — print decoration window. Decoration window info, slay. 🎀
  • wattr — show window's attributes. Attributes reveal, iykyk. 🔍
  • wmp — move the mouse pointer. Mouse pointer gets relocated, no cap. 🖱️
  • wmv — move a window. Window relocation services. 🚚
  • wrs — resize a window. Resize, bestie. Make it fit. 📐
  • wtf — focus a window. Yes, the command is literally wtf, and it focuses a window. 😭
  • wtp — teleport a window. Teleportation but for windows. 🌀
  • atomx — modify atoms on a window. Atoms, modified, on a window. ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

wmutils acts on the X display specified by the DISPLAY variable. That's the variable in charge of which X display it's acting on, so yeah, it's kind of the vibe check for the display. DISPLAY said what it said. 🫶
