Get window name or process ID while creating Custom Layout

Open subokita opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to assign a specific window / process to a certain frame of a layout, e.g. main center frame for Safari, smaller top left hand frame for terminal. But probably doing it using custom layout, if it's possible.

Describe the solution you'd like An ability to retrieve window's name or process ID from the custom layout javascript files.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

I don't even know if it's possible to add those information in custom layout javascript files, it'd be great to expose them if they are already there, else forget about it, probably too much work.

Process ID, maybe, but that might be handled when I add application names. Window titles will not be included, as that is actually data exfiltration. Browser windows, for example, often have titles meaningfully related to page content.
