Whenever you want to get rid of a split container, you can just move all of its children out of it. When the last child leaves a container, the container is destroyed, e.g.: H[win1 T[win3]] # win3 focussed move left H[win1 win3 T[]] # intermediate step; a result of moving win3 H[win1 win3] # the T container get destroyed because it is empty. This is how I understand it. I hope I was helpful. If not, feel free to ask for more explanations. Best regards. -- Mateusz Poszwa
