Hello,
I have been using Amethyst for a while, and it's quite neat and does pretty much everything needed.
Only feature I'd like to see added is possibility the ability to select the layout from the dropdown menu
The dropdown could also show the shortcut key for the layout/s
Seems like a reasonable idea. It feels like some of the feature requests have been moving towards using the status bar menu for some of the keyboard configurable things. With the addition of @ianfixes's changes to support mouse that seems more attainable. That seems like a good direction to push towards to open up tiling window management to less keyboard-focused users.
This might be a great opportunity for a pie menu, where a combo like option-shift-mousebutton would bring it up under the mouse's location. That said, I have zero experience writing such a UI element and a heavy concern that the layout would try to get ahold of it somehow.
I agree with @ianyh about "less keyboard-focused". The only keyboard shortcuts I have mapped in Amethyst are:
Cycle layout forward
Cycle layout backwards
Increase main pane count
Decrease main pane count
Force windows to be re-evaluated (which I never use)
Display current layout (which I never use)
It looks like we're within spitting distance of only having one hotkey to worry about (the rest done with the mouse) for all Amethyst functionality, which would be really neat.
