💅 WTF(1) — like, the general commands manual bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is wtf from the wmutils fam, and no it's not the reaction you make when you see your ex in the group chat 💀 it's actually a whole tiny little focus tool. she's small, she's iconic, she does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly. main character energy fr fr 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wtf — transfer window focus 💖

like... move the keyboard focus. to a window. that's it. that's the whole gig 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wtf wid

one argument. one window id. in and out, no cap ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — wtf sets the keyboard input focus to the window wid, but only if it exists and is viewable 👑

read that again bestie, because the vibes matter: wtf isn't out here forcing focus onto some random garbage. the window has to actually be there and it has to actually be viewable. if she can't find it or it's hiding, she's simply not gonna do it. boundaries. we love a queen with boundaries 💅

when it all lines up tho? focus transferred. keyboard input goes where you told it to go. slay 🌈

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DISPLAY — wtf acts on the X display specified by the DISPLAY variable 🖥️✨ that's the display she's gonna talk to. no DISPLAY, no display, iykyk 😭
🫶 quick vibe check: wtf only transfers focus when wid exists and is viewable — those aren't optional, that's literally the whole condition. don't come for her 💀
