"current" as selection value

[jbriales]

Currently there is e.g. "recent" but no explicit "current" option as a selection value referring to the currently active window/space/display.

For some commands, like yabai -m query if there is no selection specified it will default to the current one. For other commands though, this won't work. E.g. if I wanted to move a window to the current space sth like yabai -m window WIN_SELECTION --space won't work (no space specified).

I'd propose adding a new possible value recent within WINDOW_SEL/DISPLAY_SEL/SPACE_SEL (and potentially also an alias . for convenience), so that commands like these would be possible:

yabai -m query --windows --window current
yabai -m window 1234 --space current
...

This would have some extra benefits like:

• Easier to be explicit than remembering if a certain SEL argument is optional or not (defaulting to current)
• Easier to deal with shell completion helpers when args are always provided explicitly

Thoughts?

This is "current" yabai -m query --windows --window But as for window selection by account, agreed, would be preferable for scripting. That Golden sections logic doesn't work mostly, especially for scripts.
