Meta Actions:

The {:application_name} meta outputs information about the currently active window. Argument can be app, class or title, or a combination of them with : as a separator. title should be consistent between platforms, whereas class and app will depend across platforms and specific user installations. To find an application's app or class, see meta actions. class is only available on some Linux systems. When a property is unknown UNKNOWN will be output.

The following example will output UNKNOWN:Navigator:Mozilla Firefox (output will vary between platforms and installations).

Example:

{
  "W*EUPB": "{:application_name:app:class:title}"
}

Commands:

The {PLOVER:application} command acts on the currently active window. It takes a subcommand as its first argument, with further arguments separated by :.

For example, {PLOVER:application:move:100:0} will move the current window 100 pixels to the right.
