Maybe you would enjoy i3 if you spend lot of time with terminal windows.
It’s a little scary at first, but 4 major key combos are all you need.
mod+enter: open terminal
mod+d: open launcher; the default is dmenu, but rofi is amazing.
mod+h: split horizontally when opening next window
mod+v: above but vertically
I personally have a setup with i3-gaps, rofi, and polybar: https://u.cubeupload.com/Bwbw223/170E026006774C45A65E.png https://u.cubeupload.com/Bwbw223/170E026006774C45A65E.png
It’s a bit ugly stock, though...
- magicalbeans 8y ago50/50 splits don't work well in practice. Splits right in the middle of the eyes. And assumes all tiles have the same importance and deserve equal screen space. Whereas with large central monitor the positioning and split ratios are very important. 50/50 rarely works well. 60/40, 70/30, are more sensible
- torbjorn 8y agoIn i3 it is very easy to adjust the split ratio. hit mod + r and you are in resize mode.
