The column width can be the second argument of a line in the index file: ~|ncol width clientid ...\n I don't agree with any exception for floating clients. We have move [+|-]<x> [+|-]<y> and resize [+|-]<w> [+|-]<h> as commands for clients in wmii-4. That works with both (floating and managed clients). The move might be ignored for managed clients. > As for adjusting height, that's another issue that's heavily entangled with > the new colmodes. I can think of two ways of dealing with it.

What's the problem to also list x,y,w,h for managed clients?

Also note, that we already decided how to replace the column modes, see the TODO. However I think having a command for the view namespace to set n visible clients for the current column is no big deal. Regards, -- Anselm R.
