Standard running

Map the gridwm command to a key combination to run it on the currently active window. (Suggested to use xbindkeys and xbindkeys-config)

Profiles

Clicking the export button will result in the ability to create a JSON configuration.

These are saved under ~/.gridwm/<given_name>.json

It will set the dimensions of every program listed in the configuration that is opened.

It's suggested to map the below command to a key combination to automatically set your layout upon the keys being pressed. (Suggested to use xbindkeys and xbindkeys-config)

gridwm --config=~/.gridwm/<given_name>.json

TODO: fix location setting for duplicates (i.e 2 firefox windows)
