thank you very much! it works like a charm 👍

wow it works thanks

I get an error in this line:
output = subprocess.Popen(["wmctrl", "-l","-G"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].split("\n")
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Any ideas?

@vivekkohar Use python2

I'm on a Mac running Mojave, Python 2.7.
When I run wmfix I get:

$ /usr/local/bin/wmfix
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/wmfix", line 15, in <module>
    output = subprocess.Popen(["wmctrl", "-l","-G"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].split("\n")
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The message about line 15 in wmfix, is it trying to say there's something wrong with that line? There's no error message. Or is it just saying that that is line that calls subprocess.py?

I can find my way into the subprocess.py file and see lines 710 and 1335, but I'm not enough of a Python programmer to make sense of it from there.

Any suggestions?

This runs wmctrl which you will need to install for it to work.
