Automatic layout modes like Dwindle/Master/etc

[bullsbarry]

Is it possible to add automatic layouts like hyprland's dwindle or master layouts? It would basically be a tree where new windows are added based on the currently active window (dwindle) or order added (master). I have an ultra wide and being able to have auto tiling that continues to split beyond the base layouts would be a nice feature.

Hey, thank you for sharing this. I'm open to introduce automatic layout but I'm new to the topic. Would you like to share a bit more about how dwindle and hyprland work? Thanks!

At the end of the day the dwindle layout in hyprland is heavily inspired by BSPWM's auto-tiling and it's best described here:

Each desktop is a tree, each window is a leaf, and splits are based on the ratio of width:height of the window. You can see it in action here

This is very interesting, thank you for the links. I saw A LOT of hype on hyprland recently. I'm now very curious to implement automatic layout, like the master one for example, on GNOME. If you have useful readings to know more about the algorithm of the master layout it would be awesome if you could share, thanks!
