Musomisia -- keyboard-centric tools for Linux desktop users

------
mcgr
------
Mcgr [1]_ provides hot-key access for
* launching applications
* focusing running applications
* window layout management.
.. [1] originally abbreviated for "MetaCity Go to or Run", now works with other
window managers as well
Once run, the ``mcgr`` script accepts the followig commands through the
``/tmp/mcgr.fifo`` FIFO:
goto-or-run
===========
Syntax::
goto-or-run
If a window with a matching ``WM_CLASS`` is found, it receives the focus. If
the window is not on the current workspace, the correct workspace is activated
first. If a matching window already has focus, the next window with the same
``WM_CLASS`` is focused instead. Multiple successive calls with the same
``WM_CLASS`` loop over all matching windows.
If no window with a matching ``WM_CLASS`` is found, the command line is run
instead.
Example::
echo "goto-or-run Firefox firefox -P profilename" >>/tmp/mcgr.fifo
In GNOME key bindings use e.g.::
sh -c "[ -p /tmp/mcgr.fifo ] && echo Firefox firefox -P profilename >>/tmp/mcgr.fifo"
