Apologies if these ideas have been considered before: I'd love to see the ability to layout windows by dragging them, similar to the way Eclipse (the IDE) does it: - You can drag a window into any container. - Dragging towards the left or right of the container causes it to split horizontally and place the window to the left or right. - Dragging towards the top or bottom of the container causes it to split vertically and place the window above or below. - Dragging towards the middle of an untabbed container creates a tabbed layout and places the window in a new tab. - Dragging to the tab bar of a tabbed container places the window in a new tab.
I realize i3 isn't meant to be mouse-oriented, but this would make window re-organization more efficient for me. It takes too many operations to reorganize window layout since containers must be split *first* before a window can be moved into it. Using mouse-dragging, this becomes a one-step operation. -tom
