Minimizable containers

[blk750]

I think this is a cool window manager, although the ability to minimize containers would be nice.

Shod can minimize containers.
You can use either wmctrl (which works in all EWMH-compliant window managers) or shodc(1), shod's remote controller.

With shodc(1), the following command either minimizes a visible container, or restores a minimized container:

shodc state -m <WINDOWID>

To list the window IDs, run the following command:

shodc list -l

In the shodc list -l output, if the fourth character of the first column is a m, the window is minimized; if it is a -, it is not minimized. For example, in the following output, one of the windows is in a minimized container:

---m-----       3       650x394+6+322   0x0340000a      0x0340000a      0x0340000a      ~ - ttyp4
---------       3       650x394+424+183 0x0200000a      0x0200000a      0x0200000a      ~ - ttyp3

The IDs are in the sixth column (0x0340000a and 0x0200000a in the previous example cases).
The fourth and fifth columns may have the same id if the window is the sole window in a container or is the focused window in a container.

You can use a program like sxhkd to map a keyboard shortcut to the minimize command. You can also use a program like xmenu or dmenu to list and restore the minimized windows.
