### 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
- 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 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.
|
|
|
|
### next?
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
