Hi @tech,
The way cwm(1) currently implements tiling (off by default) is
corresponding to this for vtile,
---------------------------------
| | |
| | 1 |
| | |
| M -----------------
| | |
| | 2 |
| | |
---------------------------------
<------------->
w
where 'w' is the original horizontal size of the master client when
vtile was invoked. The analogous is true for htile and vertical height.
While this approach gives the greatest flexibility (as one can define
the size of the master area for each invocation of vtile) I most often
find myself wanting the following behaviour when using tiling,
---------------------------------
| | |
| | 1 |
| | |
| M -----------------
| | |
| | 2 |
| | |
---------------------------------
<------------->
w
where 'w' is "0.5 x horizontal widht of the screen" for vtile and the
analogous for htile and height.
The attached patch tries to implement this (replacing the current
approach). Of course, there would also be the possibility of having an
additional function (e.g. client_htile_half etc.).
Thoughts?
Best
