```

Select a window under Sway, using `swaymsg` and `jq`:

```sh

swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | select(.pid? and .visible?) | .rect | "\(.x),\(.y) \(.width)x\(.height)"' | slurp

```

Select a window without border under Sway, using `swaymsg` and `jq`:

```sh

swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | select(.pid? and .visible?) | "\(.rect.x+.window_rect.x),\(.rect.y+.window_rect.y) \(.window_rect.width)x\(.window_rect.height)"' | slurp

```
