feat: toggle tiling direction on button click in sample config

[ehellman]

The default config for Zebar contains an element that displays the tiling direction for glazewm. Added the toggle-tiling-direction command to the glazewm provider and made the button interactive in the sample config.

@ehellman @lars-berger This is pretty nice having click events. I would need to run a command as well for the komorebi provider and I was wondering if it's possible to make a generic way to be able to run a (powershell) command/script using perhaps the util provider so you would not need to add a new one for different things. Like util.executePowershellCommand.

Others also want to run powershell commands to open a program and such. This could be useful for that too.

100% agree this would be a nice feature. imo it'd best to create a separate provider for it, perhaps like:

providers:
  - type: 'shell'
    alias: 'music'
    command: 'node music_player_backend.js'
    update_method:
      invoke_immediately: false
      continuous: false
      interval: 5000
    json: false # whether to json parse the output (or maybe just call JSON.parse in the template itself?)
template: |
  {{ music.output }}
  {{ music.prevOutputs }}

There could be a shell.exec({ commandOverride?: string }) function to explicitly call run it and even override the command so that different flags could be passed. We could have an invoke_immediately option for whether it should be paused on start and require the shell.exec method to start it off. or maybe it'd make sense to have a paused_on_start option that exists on every provider config that allows for pausing/resuming a provider?

@lars-berger This sounds pretty nice! Do you think this is somewhat related to #75 and #83 ? I would not want to create a new feature request if they are.

[lars-berger]

Yeah it's an idea for how #75 could be implemented - will go ahead and post it there too
