crates.io Rust

Introduction

i3-autolayout is a simple service which helps keep a reasonable windows layout for your i3 manager.

Without autolayout, you have to manually decide whether to split the windows horizontally or vertically.

Instead, when i3-autolayout service is enabled, the split mode is automatically selected to better distribute the width and the height of windows uniformly.

Of course, you can still perform a manual split: indeed, i3-autolayout aims to be as less invasive as possible.

i3-autolayout is written in Rust (programming language) for best performances and minimal system resource usage.
