It would not be stealing, considering baskerville suggested it himself:
baskerville/bspwm#595
I wasn't aware he mentionned it himself. This tool is indeed useful,
but as mentionned earlier, the shell-based version seems to works
well-enough.
Did you encounter a use case where xqp was "required", as in,
underneath.sh was to slow or buggy?
But your logic about being able to recreate the effect with existing
tools is sound, and if that is your criteria for inclusion, this
tool obviously does not meet it.
It's not as simple as that, for example, both `wmv` and `wrs` could be
replaced by `wtp` + `wattr`. But the use case for them was pretty obvious,
so it makes moving and resizing windows a trivial operation thanks
to them.
IMO, `xqp` doesn't need to be optimized, and it's not something users
will use heavily, or on its own. It will always be coupled with other
tools to achieve a greater goal.
But hey, maybe there are some use cases that would justify it I didn't
think of!
Using a script for this seems pretty inefficient (about 6 times slower
than xdotool), but is still within reasonable limits.
How did you measure that? It is fast enough for me so that a comparison
can't be done:
$ time underneath.sh
0x00a00001
0m00.00s real 0m00.00s user 0m00.00s system

Well, I guess while C code is always nice, I use lsw in underneath.sh under contrib to do the same thing with relatively not much difference in execution unless you were dealing with quite a few windows.

While this is a nice tool, we are not gonna "steal" it from
baskerville. Such a tool is 'out-of-scope' as it can be recreated using
the existing tools.
Baskerville wrote many small X utilities that could be "nice" to be
found in wmutils. But that's no reason to start merging everything
blindly and turn wmutils into a 200+ "cool" X utility mess.

I respect your choice and philosophy. Thanks for creating these great tools!
