+spawn\_window\_cwd
+==================
+
+Description
+-----------
+This patch spawns programs from the currently focused client's window.
+Similar to the spawn\_cwd patch, it incorporates enhanced logic and resolves limitations from the original implementation.
+Instead of parsing the client's window name (which may not provide the cwd),
+it searches for the newest ppid and uses its cwd,
+which is typically the shell, or $HOME in case of failure.
