Is there anyway to get pid in i3 not sway?

acrisci commented 4 years ago

Not with the ipc. But you can try to read _NET_WM_PID property of the window with an X11 library. Check out the xprop command.

Yeah i know that xprop command but It will make my script slow

acrisci commented 4 years ago

Check out the python-xlib library.
