TwoPane layout

[mwz]

Hi, would it be possible to implement a TwoPane layout from XMonad? This layout is very similar to the Tall layout, except that there is only one window showed on the secondary pane and any additional windows in this layout can be cycled through (on the secondary pane).

Possible, but I’m inclined to wait for #51 before adding new layouts.

It seems that this would be much easier to implement than a generic functionality for handling user-defined layouts, especially that this layout is probably a simpler version of Tall or the column layouts.

Are you open for external contributions or do you strictly want to wait for #51?

[cgtz]

I implemented something like this, but reversed (windows stacked on the main pane instead of secondary) in #897 by slightly adapting TallLayout. @ianyh, are you open to merging new layouts like this or do you still want to wait for #51? Is #51 currently being worked on?

[ianyh]

Yeah, I think contributions would be fine. I just don’t have the bandwidth myself.

Any update on this? A TwoPane layout like the one from XMonad would be really nice. I could also give it a try if you're open to PRs.

Alternatively, @cgtz are you interested in finishing the PR you opened a while ago? I think that would achieve something very similar.

hey all, I've got this layout working locally - I will tidy up the code, write some tests and try to open a PR soon.

Ok, here's the PR #1124.
