Question: Layout for newly opened apps #170

Open shadowpsi opened 1 year ago

shadowpsi commented 1 year ago

Probably a couple of different cases in here.

  1. In a new session when I open the terminal it opens as a small window in the total screen space. Is it possible to open maximised?
  2. Alternatively I usually open 2 terminal windows to fill the height and 50% width. On a new session I need to resize both windows to fill the height. Width in this case is perfect.
  3. newm-cmd debug can show the current apps, and layout. Is it possible to persist and load this to restore a session? For example after rebooting.

number 3 would really be an attractive feature. We would be able to restore specific sessions and save them. This feature is especially useful because you can easily get lost in newm if you like to have a lot windows open.
