I've added two new modes: one for having the video take over the entire Cathode window (not the entire computer screen) and another for detaching the video window from Cathode (it is not just piping yt-dlp into mpv, but I guess other things considered it's pretty close to that).

Wow, that was fast! And it works better than piping in to mpv because it exposes quality selection!

for posterity (because I had to figure out how to figure out the app_id): I wanted to have cathode pop up in a sticky floating window in sway just like mpv does (so I can watch stuff in a nice floating window that sticks between workspaces like I have MPV doing)

So that's (in ~/.config/sway/swayconfig or your swayconfig):

for_window [app_id="io.github.andunieee.Cathode"] floating enable for_window [app_id="io.github.andunieee.Cathode"] sticky enable
