# i3-easyfocus
Focus and select windows in [i3](https://github.com/i3/i3).
Draws a small label ('a'-'z') on top of each visible container, which can be selected by pressing the corresponding key on the keyboard (cancel with ESC). By default, only windows on the current workspace are labelled.
## Usage
Focus the selected window:
```shell
./i3-easyfocus
```
It also possible to only print out the con_id of the selected window and, for example, move it to workspace 3:
```shell
./i3-easyfocus -i | xargs -I {} i3-msg [con_id={}] move workspace 3
```
Or to print the window id and use it with other commands, like xkill:
```shell
./i3-easyfocus -w | xargs xkill -id
```
