Labeling windows #2383

Open jbriales opened 3 months ago

jbriales commented 3 months ago

I checked the documentation thoroughly and it seems there is no support for labeling windows. I.e. I'd expect sth like: yabai -m window [<WINDOW_SEL>] --label LABEL.

This would be useful to quickly tag certain windows of interest directly from within yabai, w/o messing with the title.

Any thoughts or alternatives on this?

Hi! Gentle ping on this! As we enter the weekend, I wondered if I should have a look at the internals to try and prototype this myself or if this is not available by design for some reason :)

I didn't find it particularly useful after adding scratchpad windows.

I agree it overlaps with scratchpad but I might want to label windows that are not in the scratchpad (not floating, etc.). Would you be against having the additional labeling capability?
