Custom tiled layout

[ManuGraiph]

Hi,

I switched from i3wm yesterday, and i'm trying to figure out a couple things for the transition.

One of the few things i haven't been able to achieve is to make a custom tiled terminal layout for a workspace, which in 13 i achieved with a layout json which i 'sourced' at start (with a nested node structure).

Here, setting the terminal as floating windows and moving/resizing them around i can get 99% the same thing, the only issue is.. they are floting, and i want them tiled.

So, what i'm doing right now.. pretty much for all the terminals i want in that workspace i set a couple windowrules:

windowrule = workspace x, tile, move x y, size x y, class:term_i_class

Which produces the exact layout i need, but the windows are floating.. Now i'd want the exact same thing but with the windows in a tile layout; it's possible to achieve this somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Ofc i mean programatically, i know i can just drag the windows around, the point is to automate it at startup.

Aynone?

I can't imagine how that layout looks from the little info you provided. A screenshot would go a long way.

In any case, you mentioned i3, so you may want to look at hy3.

Yeah, sadly hy3 doesn't have a version for the current release.

I don't understand.. imagine what? Did you understand what i asked? I'm not talking about "certain layout", what i mean is how to make an specific layout (any) programatically in a tiled layout type.

For example.. in a FLOATING layout tye i can easily create the windows and using move and size windowrules (or hyprctl dispatches) to make any layout structure, but i can't do the same with a TILED layout. In i3 it was easy, because you can create layouts programatically with a nested structure, hence, you can make any structure you want, but here it seems we can't create grids based on splits.

I was curious about the layout you're trying to achieve.

loading a file isn't possible, but you could make scripts that listen to events and change size/position of newly-spawned windows. Alternatively, you could make a plugin with a new layout (or even one that accepts files to create layouts), but that's more involved. This may exist already.

Yep, i can do that for a FLOATING layout, i actually nailed the layout i wanted as FLOAT , but not as TILED. You "can't" basically move around windows in a tiled layout, other than some specific actions.

If i knew the dispatch commands to move and resize in TILED i would do it with a simple script.
