I'm using the following XMonad.Layout.ThreeColumns layout
-----------------------------------
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|--------| Master |--------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
-----------------------------------
when I use sendMessage (IncMaster 1)
via hotkey it splits Master window horizontally
-----------------------------------
| | | |
| | Master 1 | |
| | | |
|--------|---------------|--------|
| | | |
| | Master 2 | |
| | | |
-----------------------------------
How to split it vertically or toggle it to vertical orientation? To make it like this:
-------------------------------------
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
|--------|Master 1|Master 2|--------|
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
-------------------------------------
Solved by forking Layout and hard coding it to split vertically:
mkdir -p ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Layout
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/master/XMonad/Layout/ThreeColumns.hs" -o ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Layout/My.hs
Change module name:
module XMonad.Layout.My
Fix importing XMonad.Prelude
module problems:
-- import XMonad.Prelude
import Control.Monad (ap, msum)
Change behavior from this:
tile3 middle f r nmaster n
| n <= nmaster || nmaster == 0 = splitVertically n r
| n <= nmaster+1 = splitVertically nmaster s1 ++ splitVertically (n-nmaster) s2
| otherwise = splitVertically nmaster r1 ++ splitVertically nslave1 r2 ++ splitVertically nslave2 r3
to this:
tile3 middle f r nmaster n
| n <= nmaster || nmaster == 0 = splitHorizontally n r
| n <= nmaster+1 = splitVertically nmaster s1 ++ splitVertically (n-nmaster) s2
| otherwise = splitHorizontally nmaster r1 ++ splitVertically nslave1 r2 ++ splitVertically nslave2 r3
~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:
--import XMonad.Layout.ThreeColumns
import XMonad.Layout.My
