[wmii] Window handling question: how to deal with columns always being as high as the screen?

[Kai Grossjohann]

This is a wmii usage question.  I'm a newbie with wmii, and I'm asking for hints on how others use it, so that my usage can become more efficient, too. For the purpose of presentation, assume that I work with xterms a lot and that my screen has room for four of them (top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right).  Now assume further that I have more than 4 xterm windows, and at any given time, I would like to see a different subset of them. Now, my screen layout would mean that I have two columns, each of which has two xterms in it and is in default layout mode.  But now assume that I would like to swap one of the xterms out and replace it with a different one: Where do all the xterms live that I'm not currently looking at? How to swap the xterm out that I don't need to see anymore and how to swap in the one that I do want to see now? If I have more than two xterms in a column, then the xterms won't be tall enough.  If I put the column into stacked or maximized mode, then I can only see two xterms at the same time, instead of four. How do people handle this? Kai
