wlm is a command-line tool to move and resize windows based on a config.

Rationale

wlm started as an open source replacement to http://www.stefandidak.com/windows-layout-manager/ and a way for me to get more experience with Rust. The intent is to provide cross-platform support, with Windows being the first to be implemented.

Installation

cargo install wlm

How to Use

Create a config

A config is a list of windows and their respective properties.

wlm ls

By default, this will create a default.json in your platform-specific location. This is determined by the directories library. Multiple configs can be created by using the --file argument.

View available window information

Once a window is in a state you like, get its information via the ls command.

wlm ls

Apply a layout

Now to apply the config:

wlm layout

To apply a different config, simply specify it with the --file argument.

TODO

Add support for default config location
- $HOME/.config/wlm/default.json
Add support for modifying existing config via CLI
- e.g. wlm config windows.2.process "chrome.exe"
Add support for specifying monitor
Add support for percentage-based configs
- e.g. similar to how tiling window managers work or Windows snapping
Add support for a daemon/service that will auto apply config on new window events
