Dwindle is a BSPWM-like layout, where every window on a workspace is a member of a binary tree.

Quirks

Dwindle splits are NOT PERMANENT. The split is determined dynamically with the W/H ratio of the parent node. If W > H, it's side-by-side. If H > W, it's top-and-bottom. You can make them permanent by enabling preserve_split.

Config

category name: dwindle

name description type default
pseudotile enable pseudotiling. Pseudotiled windows retain their floating size when tiled. bool false
force_split 0 -> split follows mouse, 1 -> always split to the left (new = left or top) 2 -> always split to the right (new = right or bottom) int 0
preserve_split if enabled, the split (side/top) will not change regardless of what happens to the container. bool false
special_scale_factor 0 - 1 -> specifies the scale factor of windows on the special workspace float 0.8
split_width_multiplier specifies the auto-split width multiplier float 1.0
no_gaps_when_only whether to apply gaps when there is only one window on a workspace, aka. smart gaps. bool false
use_active_for_splits whether to prefer the active window or the mouse position for splits bool true
default_split_ratio the default split ratio on window open. 1 means even 50/50 split. 0.1 - 1.9 float 1.0

Bind Dispatchers

togglesplit toggles the split (top/side) of the current window. preserve_split must be enabled for toggling to work. none
pseudo toggles the focused window's pseudo mode none
