i3ass - Script collection to assist the use of i3

Hi I'm budRich. I'm a stereotypical i3+arch ricer who likes to write scripts. I just added i3ass to AUR, and thought i might announce it here:

Available in AUR
Source on GitHub

Most of the scripts in this collection are side effects from the development of i3fyra (which is included in i3ass), but they can all be used more or less independently. All scripts have a manpage (with the same content as the scripts README on github) so below is just a short summary of the functionality: 

i3fyra     An advanced simple layout
i3run     Run, Raise or hide a window
i3get     Get information about i3
i3list     Get lots of information about i3
i3gw     Ghost window wrapper script
i3flip     Tabswitching done right
i3viswiz     Focus switching and visible-window-info
i3var     Set or get a i3 variable

I have a ~17 minute long demonstration video on i3fyra on my youtube channel. Even if the video was recorded more then 8 months ago, most of the functionality is the same, i will record a new demo this week though.
