Bspwm stack layout

You like bswpm but you are really missing a master and stack layout? Then checkout this repo.

Description

The main part of this repo is stack-layout.sh. The script subscripts to node_add and node_remove events and performs based on the node some window resizeing or/and moving operation on it. This script is pretty much a copy from this reddit post from reddit user w0ntfix.

Some stuff I changed/added:

• fully posix compliant
• fix floating windows bug
• stack-layout per desktop option
• toggle script

Check out toggle-stack-layout.sh if you want to toggle stack-layout.sh

Installation

Put toggle-stack-layout.sh and stack-layout.sh somewhere in your path, so that you are able to run it from anywhere.

Dependencies

• bspwm
• awk
• dunst(ify)
• bc

Settings

To enable "per desktop" option, just set BSPWM_STACK_LAYOUT Variable like so:

export BSPWM_STACK_LAYOUT="/tmp/manage-stack-desktop"

This file contains just the desktop names.

• improve performance
• set/save master width per desktop?
