add automatic tiling of new windows

[finchett]

I've been trying this out for a few days and really liking it. I've used other tiling extensions where the windows are tiled automatically on creation and thought I'd have a go at adding something similar here. I've tied to it a setting that's off by default.

Could still use some work (the movement is pretty violent—I've yet to figure out how to position them before they render) but I thought I'd share.

Also some experimenting with dynamically selecting layouts to match the number of tiled windows. Which seems appropriate alongside automatic tiling.

Might I be better to close this pull request and open a feature request for discussion of both features?

Hey, thank you for opening this pull request and for sharing your ideas! It's nice to see you already have done it, the videos are cool! It's better to close this pull request and open a feature request for discussion. Let's see what people think about it (is it useful for them? are they looking for a different behavior? etc...) so we can understand what is best :partying_face:.

Meanwhile, I'd like to share my opinion:

• Windows are tiled automatically on creation From the videos I can see you chose to tile from left to right. It is a little bit strict: what about tiling from right to left or from the center to the edges? I'm not a fan of tiling on creation since I prefer a centered window that I can grab and place where I want. It would be nice to know what behavior the people that are used to it may expect. At the same time, I don't think is feasible for us to please anyone with this ahahaha
• Dynamically selecting layouts. Some weeks ago I was experimenting about this and I didn't think about matching by number of tiles because there may be 2 or more layouts with the same number of tiles. I'm curious to know what you think about this!

Perfect, I'll close this and open a feature request for discussion.
