Check if window is managed before resize operation, if it is, unfloat it first.

[szfkamil]

I have a proof of concept for a script that would

1. Check if property manage of focused window is on or off.
2. If it is off, perform the resize operation.
3. If it is on — thus it is managed, then float is first, then execute the re-size operation (only way to resize a window is when it is floated)

I think this can be used in skhd if the resize command is the argument. The argument would, as seen from my example below, be the command from after the script was invoked.

So:

lalt - space : yabai -m window --resize abs:700:1300 becomes something like: lalt - space : yabai -m window check_if_floated.sh --resize abs:700:1300

I'd like to know if,

a) by any chance, someone has already implemented this
b) if this is feasible at all, since I'm not a real programmer

A. Many times
B. It's ok

Here is an example

float_state=$(yabai -m query --windows --window | jq -r '.["is-floating"]')

if [ "$float_state" = "false" ]; then
   your command
else
   your command
fi

It can be transformed to one line like so:

float_state=$(yabai -m query --windows --window | jq -r '.["is-floating"]'); if [ "$float_state" = "false" ]; then; your command; else; your command; fi
