Allow saving layout programatically

Open kantord opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Is there currently a way to avoid the promt for a layout name by specifying the layout name programatically?

Not currently, but I will work on it. I will find a use for it aswell.

Also, it would be nice to have a way to avoid all the prompts by specifying a default answer if the windows are trivial to match (for example a window class has been specified manually)

Ok, sounds good.

Maybe you can make something like winner-mode in Emacs. It can save emacs window layout automatically if the layout stays unchanged for a specified time (like 3 second?), and you can switch back and forth in the saved layout. The EXWM window manager uses winner mode, it will be nice to have this in i3.
