re-process all window-rules

[permezel]

Would be nice to be able to re-process all window rules.
I keep wrecking my mapping of windows to workspaces (eventually I will learn not to I suppose) but it would be nice to just have all the window-rules "open-on-workspace" be re-applied, say by writing the config file.
I would be happy with a "on-reconfig" match, and put what I needed to be done in there.

Well, window rules are always live-reloaded and live-applied. It's just that the open-on rules, as the name suggests, only apply at the time when the window opens.

I understand your problem, so maybe indeed there should be some command that makes it re-apply all the open-on rules. What could it be called? reapply-open-on-rules? Should it be a debug command maybe? Should it apply to open-on-output and to named workspaces, or should there be a window-specific command?

Perhaps certain open-on could be flagged with --relocate=true and there be a relocate-wayward-windows command?
That way, only the ones I desire a strict workspace mappings would be relocated. Not sure "relocated' is the correct verb. "rehomed"?

Alternatively, open-on could accept a --lockdown=true and then the workspace movement commands would fail.

I would not make it a debug command.
It should work for both named and numbered work spaces.
