There are 2 options of when to do it: # just after a window is created, or just before a window is # created. # # * Doing it after a window is created allows you to move a window into # the split that only has 1 window, whereas the other way doesn't. For # my use cases, I think I don't really want to move it into the split if # it is a tabbed split. upon further reflection, I've determined that # single window containers are inherently confusing because they tend to # exist and get nested at unexpected times and then it is unclear how to # get rid of them and what is going on and the benefit is generally not # worth it. This command helps identify single window containers during # testing: /a/opt/i3ipc-python/examples/i3-debug-console.py # # * Doing it just before a windows is created, you need to call this # script, which means wrapping launch of a program, which I have no way # to do for all cases, I just do it for the common programs I have bound # to keys in i3. # # * Doing it after a window is created also leaves that split behind if # the window is closed. I partially deal with that below. # # I have a keybind which disables both, it runs /b/ds/i3-auto-layout-toggle dry_run=false m() { "$@"; } d() { if $dry_run; then printf "%s\n" "$*" fi } case $1 in -n) dry_run=true m() { printf "%s\n" "$*"; } ;; esac if [[ -e /tmp/iank-i3-no-auto ]]; then exit 0 fi tmp=$(mktemp) i3-msg -t get_workspaces | jq ".[]| select(.focused==true) | .rect | .width, .height" >$tmp { read -r screen_width; read -r screen_height; } <$tmp i3-msg -t get_tree | jq -r ".. | select(.focused? == true).rect | .width, .height" >$tmp half_w=$(( screen_width / 2 )) half_h=$(( screen_height / 2 )) { read -r w; read -r h; } <$tmp d w=$w , h=$h , half_w=$half_w , half_h=$half_h if (( screen_width < 1920 )); then # haven't considered this case yet exit 0 fi if (( w <= half_w && h <= half_h )); then m i3-msg "split vertical, layout tabbed" elif (( w == screen_width )); then # if we had 2 windows on screen, made them vertical splits, then # closed one, it stays vertical split, but we want it horizontal at # that point.
