Dear @budRich,

Maybe it's for sanity, maybe it's just me nitpicking, but I just thought of this:

Please give 'monocle mode' a 'standard i3fyra' array code, as in:

/usr/bin/i3list (( line 419 ))

case "fullscreen_mode"

/usr/bin/i3get (( line 186-192 ))

        case "fullscreen_mode"
          k = "fullscreen"
          v = ac[target_container_id]["fullscreen mode"]
          out = gensub(/%s/,v,"g",format)
          out = gensub(/%k/,v,"g",format
          printf ("%s", out)
        break

so that if I type "i3list" there'd be an entry for "monocle or not".. my suggestion is to use [AWM] (active window monocled] = 1 or 0

for example

i3list output:

i3list[xxx]=xxx
i3list[AWM]=0
i3list[xxx]=xxx

yeah, that makes sense and is not difficult to do.

i settled for ACM and TCM for active/target container monocled. And i3get has it with: i3get --print M

everytime i look at i3list source code i wonder how much work and how much faster it would be if i rewrote it in go..

All things Linux on my end are, if it comes to it, ultimately because of your videos.

Let's say I'd need to fully flip and career-switch;
wouldn't I have to rust it up?
