Linux

I already forwarded mako notifications to Pushover on Linux. The hook is tiny: mako runs a command with the notification id, the script reads makoctl list -j, skips loops and Pushover itself, and POSTs to the Pushover API. Windows has no equivalent of on-notify=exec. I wanted one binary, dn-pushover, that does the same job on both desktops: titles become [DN][hostname] … so a notification that bounces back is easy to drop. Linux stayed simple. Windows did not.

This article demonstrates how to quickly switch to a window using gpicker and wmctrl. You type significant letters of workspace name, application name or title and gpicker provides a list of windows you most likely mean to pick.
