I second this idea. There are times when I would like to change the
width of a column without the mouse, but I am not able to do it without
using awful.client.incwfact(). This is a really bad solution,
however, because it causes some very strange side effects with the
layout when adding and rearranging clients.
If an optional manual mode was added to awesome, I believe many of these
problems could be avoided.
Isn't this the same thing as the default key bindings of meta-H and meta-L ? I
would think it should be reasonably easy to add this functionality to the other
layouts, unless the underlining wm doesn't support it.
Well, not quite the same, but I am looking for a similar solution.
modkey+H and modkey+L change the master area, not the sizes between
clients in the stacking area.
Consider the following layout:
+------+------+
| | 2 |
| | |
| 1 +------+
| | 3 |
| | |
+------+------+
Let's say I wanted to make client 2 larger vertically. To do this, the
line between clients 2 and 3 needs to change.
+------+------+
| | |
| | 2 |
| 1 | |
| +------+
| | 3 |
+------+------+
modkey+H and modkey+L won't help here, because that only changes the
master and stacking areas. However, this is possible using the mouse.
What's being described here seems to be closer in concept to ion's 'groups' (I
forget the specific nomenclature), which can have an individual layout, with the
allowance to have multiple 'groups' on each screen.
Never used ion, so I'm not familiar with the concept.
