Allow simple tiled and tabbed layouts

[savchenko]

First thing first - excellent tool, does what it says on the packaging.

Would it be possible to limit nesting at a value > 0? This would help with situations like this one:

Ideally, I would love Sway to:

• Allow switching between tiled and tabbed layouts.
• Avoid parent/child nonsense ([H] / [V] containers, nested levels, etc).

Is it possible without https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/3001 fixed upstream? That issue was opened back in 2017...

I don't think we can do this until sway implements the equivalent of https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/5469

This has been merged, can this be revisited?

[ammgws]

You mean it was merged in sway?

Oh, I misread! My apologies For sway it is https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7961

Any progress based this merge? I wonder whether it can allow switching to tabbed layout while using this autotiling script.

It was merged in August so you can try sway from master branch or wait until next release to see if it helps with this.
