Q: although as you mentioned previously you would need to watch window size/position or create different scripts for different work environments. It might be possible to script window positioning as well.
A: yes, i do that all the time. and that does work here. but for various reasons i am definitely looking for something snappier in this case.  i just really think there is a snappier way. actually i think there's some even better ways with jxa or swift or something to get way more internal and skip the UI, but i can't find ANY inspectors or recorders, or any way to actually learn what i'm going for
