This page describes the design of each layout and how to utilize them.

Tile Layout

Tile layout splits the screen into two parts: master(left) and stack(right).

  • master is where important windows are placed. Only a fixed number of windows can be placed in master, and the number can be adjusted w/ "Increase" and "Decrease" shortcuts. By default, the number = 1.

  • stack is where any non-master windows are placed.

  • Use "Set Master" shortcut to easily move windows from stack to master.

  • If either of master or stack is empty, the other one will take the space. By decreasing the number of masters to 0, you can turn Tile layout into a vertical layout.

Monocle Layout

Monocle layout simply maximizes all windows.

  • Monocole layout can be used in place of the native maximization. You can easily switch b/w layouts using layout shortcuts. Monocle is bound to Meta + M by default.

Three Column Layout

Three Column layout(TCL) literally splits the screen into three columns: master in the middle, and two stacks on each side. This can be considered as a Tile layout w/ extra stack.

  • The right stack has priority over the left stack in terms of window order.

  • TCL works best on ulta wide monitors w/ 21:9 or bigger ratio.
