Ah awesome, thanks for the work !!

This also scratches the direct hotkeys itch, at least for those familiar/comfortable with AHK.

Perhaps in order to then support custom layouts ( which you could create a github tag for, or a community "Shared Layouts/scripts" repo for ), we would prob also need querying/reading FancyWM state in some digestible manner, so we can respond to it, or even events from FancyWM. Obviously this is potentially a huge undertaking depending on how state is represented under the hood.

In any case, I could imagine sufficient state read/query capacity, and then the capacity to directly "set" certain state ( like setting panel/window dimensions directly in px or something, instead of repeated "increase height" statements ), would go a tremendous way for all kinds of customizability, and would prob solve #5 or #12 out the gate ( for AHK users at least ).

Thanks again!
