Dynamic Tiling support #220

Open msrsaditya opened 10 months ago

msrsaditya commented 10 months ago

Feature Request:

Many WM like Hyprland, DWM, Qtile all are dynamic tilers, It would be nice to have sway as a dynamic tiler https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling The above github repo already implements this functionality, but it's not still the default in sway, it would be nice if it was implemented by default in swayFx.

Sway is an i3 clone. i3 follows manual tiling. I think this is outside of the project goals.

msrsaditya commented 10 months ago

That's why I raised this issue in swayfx, because this is not an i3 clone.

Shinyzenith commented 10 months ago

It's the fork of an i3 clone. I think you're better off using a dynamic tiler. Maybe will can give a more clear answer regarding the project goals.

They're not mutually exclusive though are they? It could always stay manual tiling by default. AwesomeWM actually has an interesting concept which allows you to set the initial floating, tiling, tabbed or other modes by workspace.

I think the main question is can an extra tiling mode be implemented in such a way that does not break sway codebase compatibility. I would agree that anything that breaks importing sway commits is a problem.

@msrsaditya in the meantime you can use projects like

https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling

to do autotiling outside of the wm.

Already using it, I just wish it comes baked in in a wm like sway, it's not possible with that so I raised this issue here:)
