[FEAT] fetch_client_menu - add binding for sending window back to its orignal workspace

Works great. Thank you

This looks a bit fragile, what if the user manipulates the window without using the plugin ?
It should reset I guess...
it would only work well for very controlled sequences... but maybe that's fine.
I may have a look at it but with a low priority.

If the user manipulates the window, such as moving it to another workspace without using a plugin, then I think it doesn't matter. The saved workspace location will only reset the next time using fetch-client-menu or when window is sent back. So even after manipulating the window without using the plugin, the window will still return to the same place from which it was moved, if the keybinding was used. User just won't send the window back if he doesn't need it.

Please take a look at my script that I created today and see how I implemented saving workspace of the window before moving.
This script kinda replicate dwm/awesome tags behaviour so I can very easily toggle windows from all the workspaces into the single view.

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <window_class>"
    exit 1
fi

WINDOW_CLASS="$1"

STORE_FILE="$HOME/.config/hypr/.win_store"

if [ ! -f "$STORE_FILE" ]; then
    touch "$STORE_FILE"
fi

CURRENT_WORKSPACE=$(hyprctl activeworkspace -j | jq '.id')

WINDOWS_INFO=$(hyprctl -j clients | jq --arg CLASS "$WINDOW_CLASS" -c '.[] | select(.class == $CLASS)')

echo "$WINDOWS_INFO" | while IFS= read -r WINDOW; do
    WINDOW_ADDRESS=$(echo "$WINDOW" | jq -r '.address')
    WINDOW_WORKSPACE=$(echo "$WINDOW" | jq '.workspace.id')

    if grep -q "$WINDOW_ADDRESS" "$STORE_FILE"; then
        ORIGINAL_WORKSPACE=$(grep "$WINDOW_ADDRESS" "$STORE_FILE" | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
        if [ "$WINDOW_WORKSPACE" -eq "$CURRENT_WORKSPACE" ]; then
            hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspacesilent "$ORIGINAL_WORKSPACE","address:$WINDOW_ADDRESS"
            sed -i "/$WINDOW_ADDRESS/d" "$STORE_FILE"
        else
            hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspace "$CURRENT_WORKSPACE","address:$WINDOW_ADDRESS"
        fi
    else
        echo "$WINDOW_ADDRESS $WINDOW_WORKSPACE" >> "$STORE_FILE"
        hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspace "$CURRENT_WORKSPACE","address:$WINDOW_ADDRESS"
    fi
done

And my keybindings:

bind = $mainMod CTRL, 1, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-window neovim
bind = $mainMod CTRL, 2, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-window Brave-browser
bind = $mainMod CTRL, 3, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-window VSCodium
bind = $mainMod CTRL, 4, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-window discord
bind = $mainMod CTRL, 5, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-window obsidian

Are you able to test the git version to see if you are happy with the "unfetch_client" command ?
