The list commands should give more information

[hpfmn]

Hello,

I feel like currently all the list commands (list-apps/list-monitors/list-windows/list-workspaces) are pretty limited to their help with scripting. I would like them be able to report things like window size, window position etc.

I really don't like how I can do resizing of windows. In yabai I would hack myself something like this:

cmd + ctrl + alt - h : START=$(yabai -m query --displays | jq ".[] | select(.index == $(yabai -m query --windows --window | jq '.display')).frame.x"); if ((`yabai -m query --windows --window | jq ".frame.x"` > $START)); then; yabai -m window --resize left:-40:0; else; yabai -m window --resize right:-40:0; fi 
cmd + ctrl + alt - l : START=$(yabai -m query --displays | jq ".[] | select(.index == $(yabai -m query --windows --window | jq '.display')).frame.x"); if ((`yabai -m query --windows --window | jq ".frame.x"` > $START)); then; yabai -m window --resize left:+40:0; else; yabai -m window --resize right:+40:0; fi 
cmd + ctrl + alt - j : if ((`yabai -m query --windows --window | jq ".frame.y"` > 26)); then; yabai -m window --resize top:0:+40; else; yabai -m window --resize bottom:0:+40; fi 
cmd + ctrl + alt - k : if ((`yabai -m query --windows --window | jq ".frame.y"` > 26)); then; yabai -m window --resize top:0:-40; else; yabai -m window --resize bottom:0:-40; fi 

To have resizing behaving like it feels natural to me. It would be nice if I could replicate something like that. But without the ability to tell the position of the window on the screen it is not possible. Maybe for some applications if also makes sense to get information about how the tree is currently structured?

Best regads,
