SketchyBar Integration

Loving Rift. The only thing missing for me currently that is driving me nuts is that I can't get information about the active space by display.

Use case: I use Sketchybar to display the spaces with an icon and the hotkey number.

As far as I know, I can't practically get the active workspace by display using Rift. This causes my Sketchybar to have to update on both monitors, making the highlighted active space wrong on one display.

First of all, when I query anything, it only shows in the active context (i.e.: the active display / virtual space).
Second of all, I can't query what display is "active" from Rift.

@acsandmann is there anyway to do this currently? Like using the mach server?

[acsandmann]

the mach server exposes everything the cli does, because, the cli is actually just a client of the mach server. so, not really

I found a workaround for this in the time being. I'm using display=active for Sketchybar updates to the workspaces. This causes the bar to only display the workspaces on the active display. I can probably rework my config to actually make it work for both displays. It's just written originally for aerospace and I wanted to get up and running quickly.
