# 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
[](https://repology.org/project/autotiling/versions)
**Arch Linux**
1. Install the `autotiling` (AUR) package.
2. Add `exec autotiling` to the `~/.config/sway/config` or `exec_always --no-startup-id autotiling`
to the `~/.config/i3/config` file.
For the sway-git package use [autotiling-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/autotiling-git).
**Manually**
NOTE: Current master branch is compatible with sway 1.5. For lower versions you need to use the script from the
[sway14 branch](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling/tree/sway14) or the
[0.9 release](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling/releases/tag/v0.9).
1. Install the `python-i3ipc>=2.0.1` package (or whatever it's called in your Linux distribution).
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_always --no-startup-id /path/to/the/script/autotiling.py` on i3.
**Snap**
`snap install autotiling`
