IPC socket? #97

Closed fedoranvar closed 2 years ago

fedoranvar commented 2 years ago

Good day to you!

Is there any possibility for IPC socket system, similar to swaymsg or tmux, for controlling WM via shell-commands?

Thank you!

I think it is not necessary since you can communicate through python. If you want to control newm create a python script where you import layout if you want to execute some actions.

Got it. Thank you!

Just as an additional remark.. something like this does exist, although the functionality is very limited at the moment - newm-cmd. It works via dbus.

@CRAG666 spent some time recently on improving its usage, which could be the basis to add more commands
