<div dir="ltr">Hi Anton --<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the patch. It looks like it builds, and without knowing anything about BSP the changes sound positive to me.</div><div><br></div><div>Nevertheless, can you comment briefly on backwards-compatibility? How likely is it that there are people out there that use BSP and like the current behavior, and will find xmonad behaving differently as a result of this patch?</div><div><br></div><div>Can we support the old behavior and make the new behavior "opt-in" by folks that want it?</div><div><br></div><div>~d</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 2:31 AM, Anton Pirogov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anton.pirogov@gmail.com" target="_blank">anton.pirogov@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>this patch makes the actions in BSP layout more consistent and usable, making Equalize and Balance work locally and also allowing to open new windows at arbitrary positions:<br><br></div><div>Equalize/Balance now only rearrange the currently focused node instead of the whole layout (e.g. you want to keep some windows like they are but only want to rearrange a deeply nested branch).<br><br></div><div>New windows now are inserted into the currently selected node, so e.g focussing the root (everything) and opening the window will make the new window take half of the screen (not possible or very cumbersome before).<br></div><div><br></div>Also a new feature is added - now it is possible to select a window or group of windows (first FocusParent, then SelectNode) and "cut&paste" the selected window(s) into some other location in the layout (again, FocusParent to the destination, then MoveNode). This will split the node focused and put the selected window(s) there.<br><br></div>The reason for this was that more elaborate rearrangements that I sometimes wished for were simply not possible just with regular window swapping.<br></div><div><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Anton<br></div>
