I recently have been modifying my configuration for i3wm, mostly
focusing on how windows are displayed. I have found a few apps that I
prefer when they work in a more free-form environment of a floating
windows, not when they are forced to a grid. This is fine, but
unfortunately defining the for_window clauses has always
been a pain for me, and it didn’t get easier with the time. So I decided
to automate
it. The script I wrote is very simple; you run it, click on a window
and bam - you have your for_window clause ready ;)
