Focus on full panes

[luccahuguet]

instead of making the first two panes split vertically, make the second pane be created already stacked with the first pane

so no more vertical splitting by default

ok but what if I need to split vertically? just type ctrl p + r for a split to the right

This would focus on a single pane using all the width avaiable. Would make sense to launch this along the helix scheme file tree, when the plugin system is ready

This has been deemed by me a worse workflow...

if you need to stack full width panes, you're better off just opening a new tab!

Does this make sense? What do you guys prefer?

[luccahuguet]

let's discuss this for a while and then make a decision in a few weeks

Im reopening this

More often than not, I just want a zellij tab to contain

• that nice yazi file tree
• 2 full panes stacked on the side (or who knows, maybe even three)

so we could make this the default behavior, and whenever the user wants two panes vertically split, they can just press ctrl p and then r (which splits to the right)

[luccahuguet]

this will come with v5

[luccahuguet]

apparently a side-effect of stacking the pane next to the yazi sidebar is that when you open a file from yazi it auto-finds the helix pane for some reason??

who am I to complain...

[luccahuguet]

the v5 branch is currently running this. lets test it for a while to catch bugs

closing this since its implemented in the v5 branch
