Description

Matches X11 windows by rules and applies actions such as moving, resizing, focusing, or changing window properties. It helps users automate window behavior in lightweight desktop setups.

Use it only on X11 sessions and test rules carefully. A broad rule can affect the wrong windows and make the desktop confusing to use.
