@Pranav-Karra-3301 If you want to make it work explicitly like Rectangle, use this in your skhdrc file (I too wanted to replicate this functionality).

This possibly isn't entirely what you're looking for since I have it set to --toggle float, instead of setting it to float, but the grid works, I've tested it quite a bit (I use it as my daily driver).

  47   │ #                       `3:0` = starts at x = 3, y = 0 (in a zero based array of positions based on previous two numbers)
  48   │ #                       `1:1` = spans 1 column horizontally and vertically.
