It's not a very powerful +approach, but a very intuitive one and especially fits workflows +that use lots of temporary windows or those in which the +workspaces are mentally arranged in a grid. + +i3expo emulates that function within the limitations of a +non-compositing window manager. By listening to the IPC, +it takes a screenshot whenever a window event occurs. +Thanks to an extremely fast C library, this produces negligible +overhead in normal operation and allows the script to remember +what state you left a workspace in. + +The script is run as a background process and reacts to signals +in order to open its UI in which you get an overview of the known +state of your workspaces and can select another with the mouse or +keyboard. |
