stack.vim is a relatively naive tiling window manager for Vim. It takes into account the terminal dimensions to split in an intelligent (to the author) way. With larger screen sizes being more prevalent, a h-stack type layout for a text editor makes sense.
I kept forgetting the Vim commands to layout my splits in a way that made sense to me so I wrote this to do it for me.
stack.vim currently support h-stack and v-stack type layouts, depending on session size. For portrait-type dimensions it defaults to h-stack and for landscape-type dimensions, v-stack. With varying font preferences, it's impossible in the terminal to tell the true dimensions of the window so we use &columns and &lines to make a reasonable guess. More information under config.
