gridder
Bash script that uses xdotool to move and resize the active window on a custom grid
Installation
Download the file gridder to your machine and place it in any directory that's in your $PATH and make it executable with chmod +x gridder.
Dependencies
- xdotool
- xprop
- sed
Usage
You'll need to use whatever facility your OS provides for assigning global keyboard shortcuts to call gridder with the required parameters. You can test it in a terminal window, but since it moves/resizes the active window only, you'll only be able to manipulate the terminal window that way.
