### Why?

Layout-machi is great, however it requires you to use its built-in switcher to manage your open windows. If you are shuffling, swapping, and moving things around often, this could become counter productive.
|
||||
|
||||
`Machina` is built on top of layout-machi, and allows you to bind frequently used actions to your keys and gives you additional user friendly features.

A combination of `layout-machi` and `awesomewm-machina` will give you a similar experience to fancy zones on windows.

These are the features I added:

- Quick Expand:

Added feature, expands the focused client to left, right, or vertically.
|

Expand focused window to left, right, or vertically. This will make the window snap to the next available region.

- Directional Swapping:

Added feature, swaps clients between regions.

Relocate windows like Elv13's collision module.

|

- Rotational Shifting:
|
||||
Relocate clients clock wise or counter clock wise.
|
||||
Relocate windows clockwise or counter clockwise. This uses a different algorithm compared to directional shifting and should be more accurate in merging your floating clients to the tiling layout.
|
||||
|
||||
- Shuffling:
|
||||
Go backward or forward in a region, and it will cycle the clients inside that area.

- Auto-Hide Floating Windows:
|
||||
Often times, the floating windows pollutes your background if you are using `useless-gaps`. Machina will hide those for you, but they can still be accessed through your window-switcher such as Rofi.

- Floating and Tiled:
|
||||
All keybindings, including swapping work seamlessy on both the tiled and the floating windows. So, if you need to push that terminal to a corner, you can easily do so without changing it to tiling mode.

The region shuffling works like tabs, but it would be nice to have a visual queue like tabs. That will be in the next version.

The region shuffling works like tabs, but it would be nice to have a visual queue like tabs. That will be in the next version. I'm also planning to add chained keybindings kind of like in emacs and vi that displays a modal help window.
|
||||
|
||||
New layout-machi has some logic to auto expand your windows onto multiple regions. For some work flows this might be desired, but I might look into a way to disable that as I find it to get in the way when changing windows from float to tile. This is especially annoying when you have a centered float.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout-Machi compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
Machina should work just fine with both versions of layout-machi.
