i3-auto-layout

Automatic, optimal tiling for i3wm inspired by the deprecated i3-alternating-layouts and bspwm. An appropriate split is set for each window based on its geometry.

Improvements over i3-alternating-layouts:

  • single compiled binary with no dependencies (except i3 of course)
  • written in Rust for maximum performance and low resource usage (~0% CPU, ~0% MEM)
  • works asynchronously over IPC
