when trying to wipe through my windows via cmdline (because some stupid game stole my mouse or whatever) i get annoyed when trying to type out window ids ... sometimes i incorrectly count the # of 0's or the simple factor of trying to type a hex number at lightning speed gets the better of me ...
either way, when i screw up, it makes me angry because i have to retype the damned thing ;)
so i made a patch to enable a cheap search/match ... just type 'p' and then the first few bits of the window id ... p stands for partial ...
for example:
<eesh example>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 0 root # eesh
wl
1800045 : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~
120153c : patch to make eesh even more obscure - KMail
40027e : 0
1600002 : X-Chat [2.0.6]: SpanKY @ lepton.oftc.net / #gentoo (+stncl 69)
wop p16 move 0 0
</eesh example>
here we did a partial match against the window id 1600002.
the matching does a string comparison starting with the first few characters ... why you ask ? because we english speakers read right to left and the first few chars are usually pretty nicely distributed ...
at any rate, the algorithm just looks until it gets a match ... so if in the previous case i typed 'p1' it would have matched '1800045' instead of something else ...
yes i know the order changes as you focus other windows or do whatever, but in the space of typing 'eesh' and then 'wop p###' i doubt the order will change ... and if it does, well you should have typed out the window id :P
i also added a few shortcuts for the move, raise, and lower window operations (m, r, and l respectively of course)
While trying out your patch, I got carried away and took it a bit further: - Most ops can be abbreviated down to two characters. Your m, r, and l are mo, ra, and lo, respectively. - Window matching by full or partial window ID, or by window title substring. - The window list now prints the 0x prefix in window ID's for compliance with usual X notation.
Examples, all moving the X-Chat window to (0,0): - Match by window ID (first char is a digit) wop 1600002 mo 0 0 wop 0x1600002 mo 0 0 - Match by partial window ID (prefix '+') wop +16 mo 0 0 - Match by window title (prefix '=' and the rest) wop =2 mo 0 0 wop SpanKY mo 0 0
