## Filtering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The program allows to match the window or container based on the returned IPC data.
|
|
|
|
|
Some programs might open multiple windows (looking at you, Discord).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to move the correct window to the desired workspace a filter can be defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The syntax for the filter is lisp-like. To view all spawned containers run the program
|
|
|
|
|
with `--debug --filter=False` which will not match any windows and print their properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is then possible to construct a filter for any program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available Operators:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- and: `&`
|
|
|
|
|
- or: `|`
|
|
|
|
|
- eq: `=`
|
|
|
|
|
- neq: `!=`
|
|
|
|
|
- gt: `>`
|
|
|
|
|
- lt: `<`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The filter usually operates on the dictionary, and thus the *first* argument to every normal filter
|
|
|
|
|
is the dictionary element, in `.` notation, as might be customary in `jq`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example: `(> ".container.geometry.width" 300)` would match the first window where the width is greater than 300.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple filters are combined via nesting: `(& (> ".container.geometry.width" 300) (= ".container.window_properties.class" "discord"))`.
