Configurable first window width percentage #51

Closed laurentlbm closed 3 years ago

laurentlbm commented 3 years ago

I have an ultrawide display and in most cases, I want the tiling to make the first window wider than half the screen. Therefore, I added a setting to configure the width of the first window (as a percentage of the screen).

For example, with the value 70, the windows are split like this: image

Let me know if this change makes sense and if you want any changes made to the code.

Just a few notes:

  1. I've put arbitrary boundaries to the percentage so that it can't be too small or too big.
  2. I would like to improve it to have the tiling adjusted live so that you can see the change as you are setting the percentage. I haven't had time to go back to the code yet.
  3. I can also rewrite it for your next branch in TypeScript if you want.

Looks good to me! Thanks for the contribution. Do not worry about the next branch... it is very much still a work in progress where I am trying to make some decisions.
