Description

Devilspie2 is a window-matching utility, allowing the user to perform scripted actions on windows as they are created. For example, you can script a terminal program to always be positioned at a specific screen position, or position a window on a specific workspace.

Devilspie2 is based on the program Devilspie by Ross Burton. The difference is that Devilspie2 has replaced the symbolic expressions of the original with a Lua interpreter, making it much easier to maintain and extend.

Please note that the rules of Devilspie2 are not compatible with the symbolic expressions of the original Devilspie.
