I use bash extensively. I poll video files with ffprobe to get the audio level and video resolution to set a universal standard volume and custom window positions per file depending on what other applications are open.

I understand that all this is a security risk / too obscure of a feature from Wayland's perspective. I'll probably stick to X11 for as long as possible.

    I meant there is no particular reason to expect a gui configuration tool for a gui Window manager that isn't expected to be dynamic to have a cli.

    Generally the use case is always maximize this window or always put it on a particular workspace etc.

    If it has any path to being addressable via bash you would check its dbus interface if any.

    The same feature on say i3wm also isn't a CLI nor is it any more dynamic.

    Windows rules and wmctrl don't have identical use cases although there could be overlap
