Three vertical split #110

Open Bleighhhh opened 2 years ago

Bleighhhh commented 2 years ago

Would be possible to add a three vertical split as an extra option to the auto tiling we already have?

It's definitely possible. I'm not running KDE at the moment, so I'll need to find some time for setting up a VM.

If you're familiar with Javascript, the layouts are located in src/layouts and are relatively simple (although the documentation could be improved).

Not familiar with JS and codiing at all, but willing to learn for some time now. If I understand how to experiment without breaking your script I will try, but if you do, it would be much appreciated <3

ehy! I am trying to understand how to do it and I will try to do it copying from your layout alrrady made and a three column layout from another script. I don't the the src directories on my laptop tho. How should I proceed to experiment with the 3 column layout addition?

moreover, I have a new machine running your script, here I cannot resize windows like I do with the older machine which still runs your script, do you have any idea of what am I missing? thank you for your time

I cannot resize windows

I see the same bug (you should probably open a different issue for this though). It may very well be related with the change added (f2fd199791546f697c396c36f9f8eedfa01a207a) to make the script work in Plasma 5.22 (issue #105)

Alright, looks like I'm about to switch to KDE anyways – I'll implement the new layout while I'm fixing the resizing issue.

Either way, to answer your original question – the two machines may be running a different version (older versions don't use Typescript and thus don't have the src folder) or you may have installed the script via KDE store. Either way, the easiest way to play around is to install the script via git – run npm install on the script's folder and modify one of the existing layouts. After changes to the layout, run npm run transpile and restart the script for the changes to take effect.

I came here looking for exactly this. Quarter tiling is fine for 4:3 but widescreen is a different breed. There's simply too much screen real-estate space to only have 4 programs per virtual desktop.

Having more control over how many windows are allowed for every virtual desktop would be a godsend. I can't wait to see what future versions will look like.
