i3-wm Quake Any Window

WIP!

Features

• Quake mode for any window
• Toggle mode
• Sticky top
• While toggled follow you in any workspace
• Hides on '-1' workspace
• Set quake height

Example usage

• Quickly toggle a special VsCode/md-editor instance to drop some lines in your cheatSheet repository.

Intstall

• Clone and drop anywhere (why not in the i3 config file?)
• sudo chmod a+x ./i3QAW.py
• Set a keybind in your i3 config file and specify the window class (you can use xprop shell command to help you) you wish to quake
  • bindsym $alt+w exec "$HOME/.config/i3/i3QAW.py WindowClass"
• Optionally you can specify the app launcher, if you want to toggle a specify website
  • bindsym $alt+ctrl+w exec "$HOME/.config/i3/i3QAW.py Chromium --app=http://devdocs.io"

Usage

• Pick the window of the same classe name as the one you specified in your keybind (i3 confi) and float it
  • (float shortcut in (i3 config) example: bindsym $mod+Shift+space floating toggle)
• repeat at will.

Roadmap

• Alpha setting

• Full multi-screen multi-rez support (currently some issues on multi-rez)

• Auto startup an instance of binded quake windows at startup, float them and hide them

• Suggestions or inputs are welcome. Enjoy!
