1 flextile layout
2 ===============
3
4 Description
5 -----------
6 This patch replaces the `tile` layout with a more flexible version. The
7 features include the following:
8
9 * tile like the original version (left single master, right stack)
10 * left/right/top/bottom n-master, right/left/bottom/top/no stack/deck (deck is
11 like `monocle` in the stack area)
12 * per-tag configuration
13
14 It therefore provides the following additional possibilities:
15
16 * `tile` for left-handed people
17 * compare multiple files with one other each at a time without switching
18 between views
19
20 The patch incorporates and expands the following patches:
21
22 * bottom stack (`bstack` and `bstackhoriz`)
23 * nmaster
24 * pertag
25
26 Configuration

28 1. Download the patch and apply it according to the
29 [general instructions](../).

58 Usage
59 -----
60 With the default configuration (see above) the original tile layout is
61 emulated. You can change the layout by adjusting the four parameters `layout
62 axis`, `master axis`, `stack axis` and `master split` (description see above)
63 by pressing the appropriate keys.
64
65 The original `tile` layout is only available by setting the above parameters,
66 but not as a discrete layout; the `monocle` layout is still available by
67 pressing `ALT+m` (in the default configuration).
