Here's something meant as a bit of fun:

See video attached, or:

In this very short (~20 seconds) video, I'm showing new command(s) which allows one to select some windows with the mouse (as indicated by the orange border) and then perform some operation on all of them.

This hooks into the DSL CoW already has, so it's possible to then do something like:

script {
for w in (windows where w.selected) {
winops -t #{w.id} -i
}
}

Which would iconify all those windows.

This can be simplified:

winops -F 'self.selected' -i

In the video though, I'm using window-move to move the windows around. Note how the windows in the group retain their relative positions when being moved.

I'm still working on this, so not yet committed, but some version of this will likely be in 0.4

How useful this will be is still questionable...

Oh man, what did #wayland designers think when they decided that there is no way to control position of your app's windows? There are now supposed to be extensions and whatnot, but this feature should be out of the box, I have yet to see it working.

Hello! For all two of you out there running CoW[1], I'm interested in collecting some screenshots to appear on the main page:

I know we have the wiki, but I'm to show case more than just my own screenshot with a few more, if I can get them.

Thanks!
