extensions

rules

event handler for window rules on window creation

Window rules should be an executable script located in ~/.config/boowm/rules which takes the window id as the first argument. Rules are parsed via the file name itself and should be formatted as class:instance:title. You may use wildcards in the filenames as well.

ex: St:st:* would match only st windows that do not specify an instance, whereas St:*:* would match any st window.

focuser

event handler that focuses windows when created or when the mouse enters them

addborder

event handler to add borders to windows when on creation

nearsest

script to get the nearest window in a direction and prints it to stdout (needs rewrite to be more accurate)

ex: boowm nearset focused right would get the window closest to the right of the focused window

boowm nearest focused right | boowm swap focused would swap the window to the right of the focused window with the focused window

cells

script for positioning and sizing windows aligned to a grid, with support for gaps in the grid, outer gaps, space for a bar, and configurable cell count on the x and y axis
