A little tiling script written in pure POSIX shell script. Supports multiple horizontal displays of the same resolution.
Tested with Xfce, but should work with any floating WM.
You need following commands available in your $PATH:
- awk
- xprop
- wmctrl
- xwininfo
- xdotool
- xrandr (optional)
- notify-send (optional)
litile [-d=numberofdisplays] action- tile - Tiles current display with master-stack layout, currently focused window being master
- monocle - Maximizes currently focused window, and also raises it (so it covers tiled ones)
- move-left - Moves window to left display
- move-right - Move window to right display
- prev - Focus and move cursor to previous window on the same workspace
- next - Focus and move cursor to next window on the same workspace
- display-prev - Move cursor to previous display
- display-next - Move cursor to next display
- select-window - Overview-like feature (show all windows on display, and select one with your mouse)
- re-init - Let LiTile count your displays again and cache in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/litile-init file
Defining number of displays in CLI or in ~/.config/litilerc takes precedence over detected number of displays (which is done on first run after reboot and stored in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/litile-init file.
- it assumes you have a top panel on every display
