ahk-wmutil 0.1.0

A Python AHK extension providing monitor functionality

ahk-wmutil

This is an extension package intended to be used with the Python ahk package. It adds functionality provided by the wmutil package into a convenient ahk extension.

Installation

pip install ahk-wmutil

Usage

from ahk import AHK
import wmutil
from ahk_wmutil import wmutil_extension

ahk = AHK(extensions=[wmutil_extension])

win = ahk.active_window

primary_monitor = wmutil.get_primary_monitor()

# move a window to a given monitor
win.move_to_monitor(primary_monitor)

# Get the monitor the window is using
mon = win.get_monitor() 
assert mon == primary_monitor # True

# Get the monitor that the mouse cursor is on
mon = ahk.monitor_from_mouse_position()

Possible future work:

• A customized Monitor class that provides additional functionality, like listing all windows on a monitor
• Easy positioning of windows within a monitor (e.g., split left/right, quadrants, etc.)
