The master layout makes one window be the "master", taking the left part of the
screen, and tiles the rest on the right.

# Quirks

The right, "slave" windows will always be split uniformly. You cannot change
their size.

You can, however, resize the master window.

# Config

*category name `master`*

`special_scale_factor=float` - (0.0 - 1.0) the scale of the special workspace
windows

`new_is_master=bool` - whether a newly open window should replace the master or
join the slaves.

`new_on_top=bool` - whether a newly open window should be on the top of the
stack

`no_gaps_when_only=bool` - whether to apply gaps when there is only one window
on a workspace.

## Dispatchers

`layoutmsg` params:

`swapwithmaster` -> swaps the current window with master

`cyclenext` -> focuses the next window respecting the layout

`cycleprev` -> focuses the previous window respecting the layout

example usage:

```
bind=MOD,KEY,layoutmsg,cyclenext
```
