Well, after this whole discussion I can live with following compromise:
This discussion isn't over yet :-)
- keeping a horizontal swap for the price to remove the shortcuts of vertical swap at least - improving mouse-base move
This should indeed be done, regardless of what happers to swapping.
Conceptually I'd also keep the up/down swapping in swap internally, although it might be bound to move-shortcuts, because it is nothing else than a swap from keyboard POV.
Right. On the other hand, it can be seen as a move too (since keyboard up/down moving can only be done one client up/down at a time, it is effectively the same as swapping, but from the mouse point of view, moving up/down is different from swapping).
I believe that people will ask for removal of swap in a few months, because they will drop using it like me or Sander, after a while of settlement with column layout.
Yes, and that's why I think swapping should be dumped before wmii-3. The usage of swapping is in my eyes a result of misusage of the column(modes) approach. We already dropped bardrag-moving and border-resizing because that points people in the right usage-direction, I think we should do the same with swapping. This is not suppusod to be a "like the others"-wm, but a "done the right way"-wm. Gr.
