+ * Events can be listened using `appWindow.listen`:
+ * ```typescript
+ * import { appWindow } from '@tauri-apps/api/window'
+ * appWindow.listen('tauri://move', ({ event, payload }) => {
+ *   const { x, y } = payload // payload here is a `PhysicalPosition`

+ * Window-specific events emitted by the backend:
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://resize'
+ * Emitted when the size of the window has changed.
+ * *EventPayload*:
+ * ```typescript
+ * type ResizePayload = PhysicalSize
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://move'
+ * Emitted when the position of the window has changed.
+ * *EventPayload*:
+ * ```typescript
+ * type MovePayload = PhysicalPosition
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://close-requested'
+ * Emitted when the user requests the window to be closed.
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://destroyed'
+ * Emitted after the window is closed.
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://focus'
+ * Emitted when the window gains focus.
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://blur'
+ * Emitted when the window loses focus.
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://scale-change'
+ * Emitted when the window's scale factor has changed.
+ * The following user actions can cause DPI changes:
+ * - Changing the display's resolution.
+ * - Changing the display's scale factor (e.g. in Control Panel on Windows).
+ * - Moving the window to a display with a different scale factor.
+ * *Event payload*:
+ * ```typescript
+ * interface ScaleFactorChanged {
+ *   scaleFactor: number
+ *   size: PhysicalSize
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### 'tauri://menu'
+ * Emitted when a menu item is clicked.
