Ingo,
I appreciate the information about i3 marks
<https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#vim_like_marks>. It's a nice fit.
I will incorporate them when I revision the script.
Best regards,
Igrom

Hi,
Thanks for the script! On a side note I think instead of using temporary files you might find it's easier to use marks for this instead to store the information (marks starting with an underscore won't be shown to the user). Just as an idea.
As for advertising, you could post it on the i3wm subreddit.

Dear i3-discuss,
I have recently installed i3 and enjoy the tiling window manager
immensely - especially the quick action enabled with the generous number
of keybindings.
I am used to keeping Thunderbird/Slack open in a separate workspace, so
that I can be notified of any incoming messages. My issue was that I
would eventually switch to that workspace, check all the messages and
and close the windows without thinking - thanks to the learned keybinding.
I have produced a tool which gives you a replacement command for i3-msg
kill, as well as several additional commands to lock and unlock
containers. A locked container cannot be closed via the usual means -
this also applies for when trying to close its parent container.
The repository can be found here:https://github.com/Igrom/i3-persist
<https://github.com/Igrom/i3-persist>.
The code is released under the 3-clause BSD license.
I hope that the i3 community can benefit from the tool. As I am new to
this, I would be grateful if I could be showed where I can advertise the
tool to those who might find use of it.
Best regards,
Igrom
