Description

Automates actions on X11 windows from the command line, such as focusing, moving, hiding, or querying windows. It is useful for scripts, lightweight window managers, and keyboard-driven desktop workflows.

This is a window automation tool. Commands can affect the wrong window if focus or matching rules are wrong, so automation should be tested before binding it to shortcuts.

How to run
