Window manager-agnostic monitor management utilites

disputils

disputils is a set of utilities to manage multiple monitors with any window manager that works with wmutils.

Here's a simple example.

The following script puts the current focused window in the middle of the current monitor rather than at the center of the root window.

#!/bin/sh

# get display, wid, w/h, border width
MON=$(pfd)
WID=$(pfw)
WW=$(wattr w $WID)
WH=$(wattr h $WID)
BW=$(wattr b $WID)

# get monitor xywh
SW=$(dattr -w $MON)
SH=$(dattr -h $MON)
SX=$(dattr -x $MON)
SY=$(dattr -y $MON)

# move the window to the center
wtp $((SW/2 + SX - WW/2 - BW)) $((SH/2 - SY - WH/2 - BW)) $WW $WH $WID

These scripts are based off @laserswald's 'backflip', available here.

Especially thanks to z3bra and dcat for work on wmutils itself.
