# autotiling
This script uses the [i3ipc-python library](https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python) to switch the layout
splith / splitv depending on the currently focused window dimensions. It works on both sway and i3 window managers.
Inspired by https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout

## Installation
**Arch Linux**
1. Install the `autotiling` (AUR) package.
2. Add `exec autotiling` to the `~/.config/sway/config` or `exec --no-startup-id autotiling`
to the `~/.config/i3/config` file. **Do not** use `exec_always`.
**Manually**
1. Install the `python-i3ipc` package (or whatever it's called in your Linux distribution).
Remember to choose the python3 version.
2. Save the `autotiling.py` file anywhere, make executable and autostart in your i3/sway config file:
`exec /path/to/the/script/autotiling.py` on sway or `exec --no-startup-id /path/to/the/script/autotiling.py` on i3.
