3Provided is my Go rewrite, stup and brup are example scripts to raise 'st' and 'chromium' make these bindable
4
5To compile run c++ totop.cpp -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o totop
6
7The shell script, id=$(xwininfo -name "st" | grep id: | awk "{ print \$4 }") && totop $id
8
9Alternatively you can ommit the second line, and only use the third with the id if you know it
