As far as I know, i3 can split horizontally and vertically using e.g. split toggle. However, horizontal split means a split to the east, and vertical split means a split to the south. I want to be able to split in all cardinal directions, i.e. north and west as well.
Is there a way to do this in i3?
As pointed out by @jaimet in the comments, this feature does not exist in i3 and it does not seem like it's coming any time soon.
