~brocellous/wlrctl#11: 
[Feature] listen to window/toplevel events

Is it possible to listen to events in stdout? something like "wlrctl window wait", that would always output any event (focus, maximize, open, close, fullscreen...) of any window, instead of waiting for a specific match. I tried with wait and waitfor, but i didn't feel like it was possible, and seems like it's already halfway done. By the way, "wlrct window list" is not documented in manpage :)

Yeah "list" is intentionally undocumented. I only use it in the zsh completions to offer relevant app_ids and titles for completion. It could be documented if I decide to pick an output format and stick with it.

Something like "wlrctl window watch" that would just print stuff thats happening could be good.
