Hi there, the major directions I noticed, which have been discussed are:
- nobody really wants an additional column bar - empty columns is the most questionable point - most agreed that an exclusive flag makes the concept lesser predictable and more complex - but the larswm zooming feature seems to be liked by many users So I think, that following concept might be a good compromise: We don't allow empty columns, which implies that an explicit column bar is not necessary. Instead we destroy empty columns immediately. New columns can only be created if a client is selected (if only 1 client exists, the old column will be destroyed, otherwise an additional column will coexist where the selected client is send to). To get something like the larswm zooming feature there'll be a swapto command, which swaps the selected client with a specific different column. The sendto command might have the impact, that a column gets empty and is destroyed. There won't be an exclusive flag. This is pretty much like the column layout we had in wmii snaps already in Dec/Jan. I think this is dynamic enough and you can easily aim the larswm way. A good point about this concept is, that new clients get always attached to the selected column and that new columns are always created right-most (this is predictability). Due to the removal of classic pages and introduction of tags in next snap, this concept matches also better the dynamic WM paradigm, because pages are not created/destroyed anymore, a ws is only '(re)constructed' on the fly based on the tag matching.
