But adding the necessity to maintain a stable API towards LUA, which is a *lot* more difficult, actually. > - Is this something the i3 developers would want? This was actually discussed a lot. As far as I can tell, the general feeling is, that the IPC-interface is a far better approach. You still have to maintain an API, but at least you interface with *all* languages, not just one. Also, as mentioned, if anyone doesn't want to take advantage of scripting, there is a simple, stable, declarative configuration format. So, if you want to be able to easily script i3, a better investment of your time would be probably, to add more events and commands to the ipc interface. Best, Merovius
