Goals

Plugin

• Window moving/swapping "modes" similar to WinShift
  • Multiselect - move/swap one window, or an entire frame all at once
• Layout management
  • Save and restore predefined layouts and sublayouts (neovim/neovim#24507)
• Flexible autoresizing
  • Equalize all windows - like <C-w>=, but animated and automated
  • Maximize current window
  • Keep current window at user-configured size
  • Golden ratio - keep the current window sized using the golden ratio, inspired by nvim-focus/focus.nvim
