Hey, thanks for all your work! The addition of the UUID from #346 seems awesome and I think it'll help me improve my setup significantly by allowing me to have a way to fake assigning spaces to specific displays. However, currently I will have to write a complicated bash function to search for the index of the display I want and then use that to move spaces to the display.

It'd be great if I could pass in the UUID or ID of the display as the DISPLAY_SEL similar to how I can use the LABEL for SPACE_SEL or the window ID for WINDOW_SEL.

I think a compromise here could be by adding labels to displays as well. The default label could be the display uuid. I need to give this some thought to avoid potential future ambiguities.

Or a more general key=value selector for everything? That would make so many things easier, but I'm not quite sure how feasible this is with yabais current architecture.

Either of those proposals would definitely help for my situation!

Closing this in favor of #550. Support for labels can be discussed/tracked in #1616
