Exclusive columns were dropped in favor of a swapping mechanism:
M-C-{h,l} swaps the currently selected client with the selected client
of its neighbour column. This allows an easy simulation (not
identical, but pretty close) of larswm behavior: if you create two
columns, put one client in the left, and any others in the right, and
then use only swap commands, you have pretty much the behavior that
larswm has (with one notable exception: if you open a new client with
the left column focussed, you'll get two clients in it, so you'll have
to send one of them to the right manually). In other words, when you
use only the swap commands, the amount of clients per column will not
change, like in larswm. wmii's approach is more general though, since
you can also choose to make the right column the 'zoomed' one instead
of the left, or use > 2 columns, or have two clients in your 'zoomed'
column instead of one).
Yes, you can "almost" do it larswm style with swapping, with the loss
of some automacy. It is more general, /but/ it requires more thought
and defeats the idea, imo. Does anyone actually use 'emulated larswm'
or is it just an apology?
If it's really needed, s/right/east/ and you can have a rightmost
column 'zoomed' (though the terminology is dropped, wmii still seems
to use NESW). >2 columns is also possible, since there's only one
exclusive column.. And you can't 'zoom' two clients.
