I am on macOS with a split screen browser left and emacs in the right half. Max 2 window vertical split in that frame and if needed a C-x 5 2 which opens a full screen frame workspace to the right for a c-x 3 side by side layout. That’s it - all the other buffers are backstage partying until they get called.

This is great! I often have a situation where I have a nice three pane split with one split vertically and another one horizontal in one of the vertical panes, but if I close the big vertical pane, I now just have two wide horizontal panes and have to recreate the layout.

These functions are far more useful than I would have expected them to be. Will have to find a way to add them to my muscle memory. Curious if there are any obvious keybindings people have started using for them?

Oh this makes me quite happy! I’ve been using an awful hack to do horizontal-mirroring (that sometimes borks), I’m so glad to find there’ll be a better way. Massive props to the author!

I've gravitated to the use of a 43" 4K TV as my main monitor (and have a few others scattered about for auxiliary purposes) and when hacking hard have a full screen emacs window split into lots of panes, vertically and horizontally a la Mondrian. I am confused about how others get anything done without a similar configuration! This new feature seems like it will be great fun.

nice ! i typically use windmove.el for all windowing needs within Emacs including (but not limited to) moving between windows, swapping buffers etc. etc.

Neat, I've been using this for a while. Happy to strike off yet another package.
