This was very much a passion project since I didn't want to install a whole new window manager or mess around with existing linux based window managers that were overly complicated. All I wanted was to tile my open windows into columns with the press of a key.

Alas Columnar! A stupid simple tiling-window-manager:

1. F7: tiles all open windows (ignoring minimized)
2. F8: swap active window to center tile
3. F9: minimizes active window
4. F10: exits app

1. clone this repo to your home directory via: git clone https://github.com/antoniofs23/Columnar.git
2. In app directory run the INSTALL.sh file (first make it executable via chmod +x INSTALL.sh)

The app should auto-start on login. However, it can also be run through the columnar terminal command

The app lives on your top-menu-bar:

• The app is on by deafult and can be seen on your linux panel
• To exit press F10
  • this removes the icon
  • to restart run the columnar command on your terminal

Press F7 to tile open windows:

Press F9 to minimize a window:

Press F7 again to re-tile ignoring minimized windows

Press F8 to swap the active window with the center window (if num of tiles is even then moves to left-center)

You can always press F7 to re-tile after mninizing or closing some windows. That should cover everything!
