Hi, the upcoming i3 layout restore feature almost completes my wishlist. The only thing lacking is the "float split" that ion3 had. I fired up notion just to make this 2-frame gif-animation showing the feature in action:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20179139/ion3-float-split.gif With the float split you could make two[1] containers overlap each other. The amount of overlap was controlled similarly as you would resize a window. And the layout stayed that way until changed it again. I used to have firefox with docs on one side, and vim on the other. It worked wonders for my productivity and I miss it sorely. With that implemented i3 would be complete :) So, I accept the feature either as built-in, or as a working script[2]. Either way is fine ;) Thanks for the great wm! - Eero [1] or maybe even more, but I only ever used two. [2] note that the containers overlap; a scripter couldn't get away with just resizing two side-by-size containers since it would trigger a redraw on the clients and that would mess things up. A possible solution could be using two floaters and switching back and forth between them...
