Many tiling WMs support this type of layout; magnifier in awesomewm, centeredmaster in dwm, etc. The difference compared to manually performing the task being that you can cycle the arrangement through various states without extra effort or losing the previous configuration.
Of course, you can also just choose to float individual windows across background tiles in practically all tiling window managers too. I guess it depends a lot on whether the neovim use is an exception, or a layout style you use for other projects too.

- christophilus 5y agoMy experience with those was that they’d crunch the window down to a small rectangle which was hardly useful. I like having the browser and terminal be a reasonable size, even if hidden. Especially the browser; as I’m rarely testing mobile layouts when making changes.
- JNRowe 5y agoThe sizes are configurable, for example by setting mwfact in awesomewm via the config or dynamically with keys.
