Description : X current working directory
Xcwd is a simple tool which prints the current working directory of the
focused window. It's useful for launching applications directly into
the same directory as the focused application - for instance, you might
want to launch a new terminal in the same directory as your editor.
Xcwd is, by the author's own admission, an ugly hack; however, it works
with xterm(1) and urxvt(1), so it's still generally useful. In the
absence of a proper way to get this information, it's probably better
than nothing. In any case, I use it and would like to be able to apt
install it rather than scping it everywhere.
