[WIP] i3-style movement script

[diocletiann]

Hopefully this is useful for some of you, it's finally working well for me. I got carried away but I like where I ended up. Not exactly like i3 but I like it's easier to use. The script got too long so I broke it out per direction, this is east. I hard coded a couple of insert directions and frame sizes to match my setup, adjust as needed. I'll add north/south in a couple of days.

#!/usr/bin/env dash

direction=east
yqww="yabai -m query --windows --window"
stack_index=$($yqww | jq '."stack-index"')
src_win_id=$($yqww | jq '.id')
src_win_height=$($yqww | jq '.frame.h')

# full height window
if [ "$src_win_height" = 950 ] || [ "$src_win_height" = 1122 ] ||
  [ "$src_win_height" = 1050 ]; then

  # if in stack, if possible insert between adjacent window or border
  if [ "$stack_index" -gt 0 ] && $yqww $direction; then
    yabai -m window $direction --insert west &&
      yabai -m window --warp $direction

  # if not possible, unstack
  elif [ "$stack_index" -gt 0 ]; then
    yabai -m window --insert $direction
    yabai -m window "$src_win_id" --toggle float &&
      yabai -m window "$src_win_id" --toggle float

  # else stack
  else
    yabai -m window $direction --stack "$src_win_id"

  fi

# window in upper row window of a horizontal split
if [ "$src_win_height" != 950 ] && [ "$src_win_height" != 1122 ] &&
  [ "$src_win_height" != 1050 ] && $yqww | jq -e '.frame.y < 33'; then

  dst_win_width=$($yqww $direction | jq '.frame.w')
  dst_win_height=$($yqww $direction | jq '.frame.h')

  # if in stack, unstack
  if [ "$stack_index" -gt 0 ]; then
    yabai -m window --insert $direction # && sleep 0.05
    yabai -m window --toggle float &&
      yabai -m window --toggle float

  # if dst window is taller, insert into same row
  elif [ "$src_win_height" -lt "$dst_win_height" ]; then
    yabai -m window $direction --insert north &&
      yabai -m window --warp $direction

  # if dst window is wide "enough", insert into adjacent half
  elif [ "$dst_win_width" -gt 600 ]; then
    yabai -m window $direction --insert west &&
      yabai -m window --warp $direction

  # else stack
  else
    yabai -m window $direction --stack "$src_win_id"
