Set geometry of a selected window

Super-simple script - pass the width and height as command args, then choose the window with the cross cursor which appears.

NB No error-checks!

#!/bin/bash
##
## setwindims

# arg 1 = width; arg 2 = height
# '-1'  = current x and y values

wmctrl -r :SELECT: -e 0,-1,-1,$1,$2
exit

Re: Set geometry of a selected window

copy/paste window size (usage: clicky source win, clicky dest window)

#!/bin/bash

# clickyClicky

# copy paste window width/height (without wm decorations)
# idea from https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=4121

# clicky source
echo "clicky source"
read -r _ w _ h <<<$(xwininfo -shape | grep 'Width\|Height' | tr -d '\n') 
echo $w $h

# clicky destination
echo "clicky destination"
wmctrl -r :SELECT: -e 0,-1,-1,$w,$h
