Dynamic layout manipulation, add/remove container objects

[zokrezyl]

Hi,

Likely not easy to implement, but I think it would be great feature to be able to dynamically add/remove layout container objects, like one would split window in vim/nvim.

What is the best way at the moment?

I would like for instance to start from PromptSession and add new components to it.

Thanks,
Z

Assigning .layout to the Application instance will add a new layout with any changes that have been made in the layout

yeap, found out, also worked to add children to containers. However it is unfortunatelly not documented well.

I guess we can close then this one, unless you want to keep it till doc is updated, just few words.

Thanks

Well it's already documented kinda.

What this does is, the layout is accessed every time everything is redrawn. So what happens is after you replace the layout in the next draw it accesses it again, displaying the replaced instance instead of the old one
