Add two new commands wmpush and wmpop. These should be invoked via the CLI and add/subtract from a stack of past window states.

Effectively, wmpush would add to the stack and call controlpad with the requested location.

Rename dimensions as options so this becomes more semantic. Then, add the ability to specify maximize_vert and maximize_horz for better integration.

This would affect the full and half options.

This is from an old note

Patches/testing for controlpad

• Flat files
  • command for window state
  • eventually + page states

We currently handle the extremes but we should support relative displays (e.g. right, left, 'top,down`) to the active window's current display.

I am not sure if this is possible (or maybe it is Muffin-specific) but I would really like to find out.

Mint's normal left/right snap is not being unbound by controlpad. Look into this.

Since we do some off-by-one math for borders and Chrome is borderless, we are running in to trouble. Please fix this.

A scale size would be practical for moving between displays and wanting to keep the same proportions and location from display to display.

The inital idea, as inspired by WindowPad, is to cycle between states of a window.

For example, toggle between top-left-quarter, to top-left-eighth, to top-left2-eighth, and repeat.

controlpad current top-left-quarter current top-left-eighth current top-left2-eighth

Alternatively, cycle through the halfs of displays (imagine binding to Host+Right)

controlpad current right-half right left-half right right-half

I thought this would use wmpush and wmpop from #4 but I am second guessing myself as the syntax would case controlpad to call wmpush which would call controlpad.
