Synopsis
i3scratchmark [-s] [-m <mark>] [-c <command>] [-i <i3-command>]
Description
By default, i3scratchmark flips through scratchpad windows. With -m, it
toggles between showing and hiding a marked scratchpad window.
Options
- -m <mark> (default: cycle)
-
If mark is
cycle, flip through scratchpad windows. This is the default behavior.Otherwise, toggle between showing and hiding the scratchpad window marked with mark.
If no such window exists and the active window is floating, mark it with mark and send it to the scratchpad.
Otherwise, run the command specified by the -c option, mark the next launched window with mark, and send it to the scratchpad.
- -c <command> (default: i3-sensible-terminal)
-
The command to run if no mark exists for the -m option and the active window is tiled.
Note that if the command does not create a new window, the -m option will send whatever window is created next to the scratchpad, which is usually not what you want.
- -i <i3-command> (default: '')
-
An i3 command to run after the -m option marks a window. Can be specified multiple times.
- -s
-
Equivalent to
-i 'sticky enable'. Makes newly marked windows sticky.
