One issue I've run into while using wmii is that i'm always resizing columns to get them to line up with where I want them to be. I know Xinerama support is in the works (at least according to the TODO) and that will help a great deal, since I run wmii on a dual-monitor system. However, there are still some things I'd like to be able to do, and I'm not sure if they're possible currently. (i'm using wmii-3, but i also have the latest version from hg; it's just not installed) I'll write these as feature suggestions, in case they aren't implemented yet; if they are, just let me know how i can accomplish them. :-)
First, I'd like the ability to "split" a given column so that the other columns of the view remain unchanged. Instead of the standard way of creating a new column (simply moving the client to a new column) it would keep the same geometry for all columns except for the one being split. I imagine there would have to be "split left" and "split right"... the former would create a new column in the left half of the current column's area and resize the current column to take up the right side. The currently-selected client would then populate the new column on the left. The "split right" would simply be the reverse of this. Another feature I'd like is the ability to create rules for given clients allowing them to be automatically be put in their own column of a given size. This would be especially useful for eg. gaim, since the buddy list window doesn't need to take up the full width of one screen. TIA, David H.
