Isn't this what XMonad also does with their Zipper?
- ashtonkem 6y agoIn my experience XMonad typically can do anything any other tiling WM can do, but the high barrier of needing to know Haskell before being able to do the most basic of configuration keeps most people from finding that out. Oh, and it wasn’t stable for me. That might be related to the prior comment, since I really don’t know Haskell at all.
- massysett 6y agoI learned Haskell due to Xmonad. That was probably twelve years ago. Later I switched to i3 but kept using Haskell. Even later, I mostly use Macs with a smattering of Debian with vanilla GNOME, so no Xmonad or any other tiling window manager. Still use Haskell.
- p_l 6y agoZipper is a bit more flexible due to not matching position in data structure with position on screen. Thus it's really easy to have layouts like accordion or other partially overlapping tiles, or having one big window in middle and the rest in circles around, or just adding a bit of flex based on preserving proportions.
