stackline VS PaperWM.spoon

They may be referring to stackline https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline

I've used it in the past, it was very aesthetically pleasing but did not work consistently enough for me to use day to day.

Add in hammerspoon and stackline and you can have icons or little blobs as indicators for your stacks.

Oh yeah, Hammerspoon is a much better alternative to AutoHotkey, how could I forget about it.

It can even create simple and quite useful UIs, here’s an example of someone using it to create a stack visualizer for the yabai window manager: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1683979/90967233-0...

Amazing, thank you! I've searched for something like this before and found out an interesting github issue: [off-topic] How to make vim folding minimal and cute like in the readme gif . Maybe it could give you more ideas for enhancing your plugin.

Yabai actually has stacking! Although there’s no visual cue without Stackline. There’s also documentation of the Yabai commands on that repos wiki. Haven’t used either but hope it helps you :)

I use the PaperWM spoon, a port of the Gnome thing.

It does not make sense to me to use a "normal" tilling vm that automatically messes up with window side without asking me, I just need the windows to be automatically put side by side.
