ewmctrl - Use `wmctrl` to manage desktop windows

ewmctrl provides an Emacs interface to the wmctrl command-line window-management program.

Install ewmctrl from MELPA, or put ewmctrl.el in your load-path and do a (require 'ewmctrl).

Create an ewmctrl buffer with M-x ewmctrl.

The default keybindings are:

RET - Switch to the selected desktop window (ewmctrl-focus-window).
D - Delete the selected desktop window (ewmctrl-delete-window).
I - Change the icon name of the selected desktop window (ewmctrl-change-window-icon-name).
m - Move the selected desktop window to a different desktop (ewmctrl-move-window-to-other-desktop).
M - Move the selected desktop window to the current desktop, raise it, and give it focus (ewmctrl-move-window-to-current-desktop-and-focus).
N - Change the name of the selected desktop window (ewmctrl-change-window-name).
r - Resize the selected desktop window by specifying dimensions in the minibuffer (ewmctrl-resize-window). Whilst in the minibuffer, use TAB and S-TAB to move within and between the width and height fields, and use C-RET to preview the currently specified dimensions.
SPC [key] [action] - Select window specified by [key] and perform [action] on it, where [action] is an action keybinding. For example, SPC a RET will switch to the desktop window designated by ‘a’, whilst SPC c D will delete the desktop window designated by ‘c’.

fc - Remove all filtering (ewmctrl-filters-clear).
fd - Add a filter by desktop number (ewmctrl-filter-by-desktop-number).
fD - Remove all filtering by desktop number (ewmctrl-filter-desktop-number-clear).
fn - Add a filter by window name (ewmctrl-filter-by-name).
fN - Remove all filtering by window name (ewmctrl-filter-name-clear).
fp - Add a filter by PID (ewmctrl-filter-by-pid).
fP - Remove all filtering by PID (ewmctrl-filter-pid-clear).

Sd - Sort the list of desktop windows numerically by desktop number (ewmctrl-sort-by-desktop-number).
SD - Sort the list of desktop windows reverse-numerically by desktop number (ewmctrl-sort-by-desktop-number-reversed).
Sn - Sort the list of desktop windows lexicographically by name (ewmctrl-sort-by-name).
SN - Sort the list of desktop windows reverse-lexicographically by name (ewmctrl-sort-by-name-reversed).
Sp - Sort the list of desktop windows numerically by PID (ewmctrl-sort-by-pid).
SP - Sort the list of desktop windows reverse-numercially by PID (ewmctrl-sort-by-pid-reversed).

g - Refresh the list of desktop windows (ewmctrl-refresh).
n - Move point to next line (next-line).
p - Move point to previous line (previous-line).
; - Toggle single-key-to-focus (ewmctrl-toggle-single-key-to-focus). When enabled, a desktop window can be focused simply by pressing the designated key for that window.

Customisation options are available via the ewmctrl customize-group.

Deletion of windows does not work in i3 4.8 and earlier due to i3 bug #1396.
