Exit with an error message if
- A long option that requires an arg is specified without =
- No positional argument is given (for the program name or auto commands)
- A negative width or height is given without -m
- Numeric options do not have a number value
`-s` should only be used for supported terminals and if the user wants to start a tmux or tmuxinator session. `-a` should be used to set up WM specific rules (which are required for the --width, --height, --xoff, and --yoff flags to work properly; see below for supported WMs). Long options require using `--opt=<arg>` as opposed to leaving a space. Refer to `tdrop --help` and the manpage for more complete instructions.
*Changes*
Tdrop has basic checks to print errors for malformed commands (for example if a long option is used without `=`). If a tdrop command does not work, please run it in a terminal or check `/tmp/tdrop/log` for error messages and consult the manpage before making an issue.
**Changes**:
Old users please note that `-W|--normal-window`, `-z|--sleep-terminal`, and `-Z|--sleep-window` are no longer necessary and have been removed.
Used for hiding/unhiding programs to acheive quake-dropdown-like-functionality. Can create a dropdown window if one does not already exist and provides options to control the intial size and position, e.g. to leave panels visible. When used with a terminal, provides the option to specify the name of a tmuxinator or tmux session to automatically start or attach to.
