Skipping the 1/2 width option #123

Closed kalligator closed 3 years ago

kalligator commented 3 years ago

Is the a way of skipping the 1/2 width option when cycling through the left (KP_4) and right (KP_6) windowing options? I.e. leaving only the 1/3 & 2/3 in a 3 column config.

I would like to reserve that for the window manager in elementary OS only as it allows for dragging the common border between two windows, with each one growing/shrinking respectively as desired.

At the moment, you have to edit QuickTile's source because I've been struggling with life issues for years and that's prevented me from resolving bug #13. (At the moment, I'm trying a new approach which, I hope, will finally get me back on track and allow me time to give my hobby projects the attention they need.)

For now, you want to edit line 166 in the make_winsplit_positions function in layout.py to change edge_steps = (0.5,) + cycle_steps to just edge_steps = cycle_steps.

Once I have a new configuration format that supports hierarchical data, I also want to make a GUI for editing presets.

Sorry for reopening but I couldn't just leave it with a like reaction. I want to thank you for the fast and straight to the point reply, it worked great!

As for the issues you mention, I hope everything goes well and remember that multitasking is a myth and your primary focus should be on important things first like health and family.

No worries, and you didn't reopen it so no problem. I have no problem continuing to talk as long as the bug status stays at closed.

Hopefully, it will. Over the last ten years, I was so into the mess and so burned out and demotivated by it that I didn't even think to research what exactly was going on inside my head. Now, I've got a better idea, so my new plans should hopefully allow me to dig myself out of the hole.
