# Window Management Script

A Linux utility script for managing window positions and sizes on your desktop. This script allows you to quickly position windows in predefined layouts using keyboard shortcuts or direct commands.

## Features

- Position windows in various preset layouts (center, left, right)
- Support for different window widths (25%, 50%, 100%)
- Automatically accounts for taskbar/panel height
- Shows notifications when windows are repositioned

## Dependencies

The script requires the following tools to be installed:
- `xdpyinfo` - for getting screen dimensions
- `xdotool` - for window manipulation
- `wmctrl` - for window control
- `notify-send` - for desktop notifications

### Installing Dependencies

On Ubuntu/Debian:
```bash
sudo apt install x11-utils xdotool wmctrl libnotify-bin
```

On Fedora:
```bash
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-utils xdotool wmctrl libnotify
```

On Arch Linux:
```bash
sudo pacman -S xorg-xdpyinfo xdotool wmctrl libnotify
```

## Usage

1. Make the script executable:
```bash
chmod +x windowmanagement.sh
```

2. Run the script with one of the following commands:

```bash
./windowmanagement.sh [command]
```

Available commands:
- `center` - Full width window
- `center50` - 50% width window in center
- `left25` - 25% width window on left side
- `right25` - 25% width window on right side
- `left50` - 50% width window on left side
- `right50` - 50% width window on right side
- `centerleft25` - 25% width window on left side of center
- `centerright25` - 25% width window on right side of center

## Functions

### get_usable_height
Returns the available vertical screen space by calculating:
```bash
screen_height - panel_height
```
This ensures windows are sized correctly accounting for the taskbar/panel height.

## Integration

You can integrate this script with your desktop environment's keyboard shortcuts system. For example, you could bind:
- `Super + Left` to `./windowmanagement.sh left50`
- `Super + Right` to `./windowmanagement.sh right50`
- `Super + Up` to `./windowmanagement.sh center`

## Notes

- The script automatically detects your screen dimensions and panel height
- Windows are positioned slightly below the top of the screen (0.1 pixels) to prevent issues with some desktop environments
- The script will show a notification when a window is repositioned
- If any required dependencies are missing, the script will notify you
