Xdo_lang

When finishing my xdotool wrapper class.. I used it for a silly little idea I had:

The Xdo Language.. xdl

xdl wezterm:m=N:m=W # m is move, N,S,E,W is edges of the screen.
xdl brave:m=E@wezterm # E@wezterm is wezterms East side

more examples Link to heading

h|w@window_name # gets the height or width of the window

xdl sto name expression1 expression2 # this stores the
# expressions under 'name' in yaml-file.

xdl rec name # this runs the stored expressions

xdl brave:m=E@wezterm:h=1:w=E
# h=1 is full height.. 1/2 is half height and so on.
# w=E sets width to whats available East until edge.

Tile two terminals side by side:

xdl alacritty:w=1/2:m=W
xdl urxvt:w=E:m=E@alacritty

Move a window to the top-right and give it 1/3 width:

xdl chrome:w=1/3:m=N:m=E

Match another window’s height and snap below it:

xdl terminal:h=h@editor:m=S@editor
