Script to move i3 floating windows to screen corners

i3_movecorner

Simple script to move i3 floating windows to screen corners.

Currently it does not support multi-display setups with different screen resolutions, but feel free to open a pull request.

Usage

Call the script with a location preset:

./i3_movecorner.sh 9 will move the currently focused window to the top right.

Presets available:

i3 config

You can bind this script to whatever keys you like in your i3 config. I use the keypad keys on mine.
