This is a collection of scripts I have made to assist the usage of the windowmanager known as i3.

clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/budRich/i3ass.git

run the installation script
(for further instructions: ./install.sh -h)
./install.sh

Execute a script with the -h flag for help.

i3get -h display i3get help
i3get -v display i3get version

I have some more or less useful example scripts using i3ass in the i3add repository.

new scripts Added i3flip and i3var.

i3fyra

Tabswitching function (-t) is removed, use i3flip instead, it's both faster and works without i3fyra.

I added the ability to pass more then one containers to -z (hide). All visible containers in the string will get hidden. If they are not visible nothing happens. If two of the requested containers are in the same family/group (AC|BD) the whole family will get hidden and remembered.

i3run - new position to mouse

Floating windows now appears centered to the mouse position, but never outside the screen. Screen borders (gaps) can be fine tuned with environment variables. xdotool is a dependency now, it's needed to get the position of the mousecursor. All windows are now hidden if targeted while they are active, if not the new -g option is set. Using i3var instead of marks.
i3list - window geometry

Added some new output values (45-55) to return the window geometry. Also AWM/TWM (mark) is deprecated, since spaces in marks caused trouble.
