IDENT(1x)

💖 IDENT 💖

okay bestie, so this is IDENT(1x) — the AfterStep window identification module, and it's literally the nosiest lil thing in the whole desktop, in the best way 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Ident — the AfterStep window identification module 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Ident

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's simple. she's iconic. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the vibe: if the module wasn't launched from within a window context in AfterStep, the Ident module prompts the user to select a target window. like, it literally asks you, bestie, "which one? point at it 👉" — main character energy fr fr.

after that? the Ident module pops up a window with information about the window which was selected. that's the whole thing. you point, she spills the tea about whatever window you pointed at ☕✨

and yeah, even though Ident can be run from the command line (she's independent like that, we love a self-sufficient queen), she's normally spawned by afterstep from within an afterstep menu file, by:

Modules->Ident

so like, that's the usual way you'll meet her 🦋

ngl if you're out here running Ident straight from the terminal just for funsies — valid, honestly, do your thing 💜
