+# This script simplifies dropdown windows in i3.
+# Usage:
+#	argument 1: script to run in dropdown window
+#	all other args are interpreted as options for your terminal
+# My usage:
+#	ddpawn
+# bindsym $mod+u	exec --no-startup-id ddspawn tmuxdd
+#	Will hide/show window running the `tmuxdd` script when I press mod+u in i3
+# bindsym $mod+a	exec --no-startup-id ddspawn dropdowncalc -f mono:pixelsize=24
+#	Similar to above but with `dropdowncalc` and the other args are interpretated as for my terminal emulator (to increase font)
