pytyle3 Feature request: manual placement

As a new feature, I would love to be able to switch the placement of two windows just by grabbing one onto the other, or to be able to decrease/increase the master window by alt+RightClick.

You can find an illustratuion of this feature in awesome-wm.

I can't remember if this is a feature in pytyle2 or not. It would be nice to have, but I'm not actively developing pytyle3 any more. (I'm using Wingo in lieu of Openbox/pytyle.)

or to be able to decrease/increase the master window by alt+RightClick.

You might be able to setup a mouse binding with some other program that then uses xdotool to issue your pytyle3 keybinding.

Thanks for the answer. It is not a feature in pytyle2.

Adding layer over pytyle/window manager is kind of dirty and I think that this wouldn't be straightforward.

Indeed it would not be straight-forward. Part of the problem with the pytyle programs is that much of the effort that goes into developing them is spent fighting with the window manager. This exponentially increases as the features get more complex. :-) (This is partly why the pytyle2 code base is so much bigger than pytyle3.)
