So would this work by dragging the window ex. to the top, and then a popup with all the pre-set layouts shows up, and you select a window action?
@MrKai77 if that's possible then sure 😁, I won't even mind if I have to select an option to do this through drop-down menu. It just saves a lot of time by snapping multiple windows at once rather than manually doing them 1 by 1.
I think something like app layouts, but without the "app" part, might be close to this. I don't know how useful it is, since if, for example, you have a layout with 4 apps in 4 corners, the layout will be different every time you snap to it, since Loop won't know what app to place in what corner.
I was thinking that when a layout is chosen, Loop would detect the (ex.) 4 frontmost windows and then let them out accordingly.
~Does Rectangle Pro require you to supply which apps to layout when making an App Layout?~ (I just realized that Rectangle Pro just takes a "snapshot" of the current layout)
It does. Rectangles isn't like what the user is requesting.
It's more like "when I press this button, put these exact windows in this exact poison, and if they aren't open, open them first."
What the user is describing is Windows's way which is "select a layout, then one by one tell me which app should go in which slot"
Which is kinda slow, but to each their own.
@Soft-Bred @MrKai77 It doesn't necessarily has to be like windows , choosing a slot option can be tedious so u can rather just snap all windows into layout and can give a option to rotate all windows clockwise (kinda similar to amethyst or yabai ). Well take ur time and a Happy New Year 🥳

This is from Rectangle pro , it lets u choose a what layout is to be presented and where the layout menu should appear( top of cursor, below the cursor , top of screen etc). Though this is just snapping a single window , it would be cool if loop can just take a count of total number of windows in space and suggest u the layouts . Kinda same as snap assist in windows #215
