Description-en: Lua-based window matching utility
Devilspie2 is a window matching utility, allowing the user to perform
scripted actions on windows as they are created. For example, you can
script a terminal program to always be positioned at a specific screen
position, or automatically position a window on a specific workspace.
.
It is a continuation of Ross Burton's project Devilspie, with the most
significant change that the symbolic expressions of that project are
replaced with a Lua interpreter.
