People,
I have looked at the Sway and i3 cheat sheets but I can't find anything - there are Hot Keys for rearranging windows: stacked, tabbed, toggle split - but shouldn't there be one for a grid? ie four windows would be displayed like:
+-----+-----+ | | | +-----+-----+ | | | +-----+-----+
five would be:
+---+---+---+ | | | | +---+- -+---+ | | | +-----+-----+
etc.
Thanks,
Phil.
People,
Sorry for replying to my own post but I got a DKIM complaint note so I am replying to see if I have fixed that problem . . it would still be good to get a response re my original question though!
Thanks,
Phil.

at least i3 definitely does not support something like this out of the box. This looks more like a predefined layout which is supported by other window managers like dwm or awesome.

I thought that might be the case - oh well . . As I get more familiar with the setup, I will see if can create some sort of "macro" to do what I want . . I just worked out that in config I can use "bindsym ... exec" to run shell scripts so I will see how I go . .
Thanks for responding!

Phil.

At least with i3 you can script just about anything using the IPC interface: https://i3wm.org/docs/ipc.html
