Display windowing system window ID in output of windows command

[taladar]

To identify which window in e.g. wmctrl is which window in brotab it would be useful if brotab could display the window id by the windowing system for each window, not just its own internal id.

This would a script to e.g. open new tabs in the Firefox window on workspace x specifically and not just in the one last focussed.

I would be interested in this too.

#!/bin/bash
# Activate tab,  window, and workspace

tabs=`bt list | awk -v sep="$sep" -F "\t" '{print $2 sep $1}'`
tabs=`echo -e "New Window\n$tabs" `
selected=`echo "$tabs" \
| rofi -dmenu -i -select "$active_window" -p ""  -display-columns 1 -display-column-separator $sep -theme ~/.config/rofi/combi.rasi\

if [ "$selected" ]; then
    if [ "$selected" == "New Window" ]; then
        brave
        exit 0
    fi
    tab_id=`echo $selected | awk -F $sep '{print $2}'`
    echo $tab_id
    bt activate $tab_id
    bt_window_id=`echo $tab_id | cut -d'.' -f2`
    active_tab_id=`bt active | grep $bt_window_id |cut -f1`
    window_name=`echo "$tabs" | grep $active_tab_id | awk -F $sep '{print $1}'`
    window_id=`wmctrl -l | grep "$window_name" | cut -f1`
    wmctrl -i -a $window_id
fi
