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 move things around a lot, 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.
In other words, combination of layout-machi and awesomewm-machina will give you a similar (if not better) experience than the fancyzones on windows.
what?
These are the features I added:
-
Quick Expand Added feature, expands the focused client to left, right, or vertically.
-
Directional Swapping Added feature, swaps clients between regions.
-
Directional Shifting Relocate clients like Elv13's collision module
-
Rotational Shifting Relocate clients clock wise or counter clock wise.
-
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 work seamlessy on both tiled and floating clients. So, if you need to push that terminal to a corner, you can easily do so without changing it to tiling mode.

cd ~/.config/awesome
