Scripts to open new windows in i3wm using alternating layouts (splith/splitv) for each new window. These scripts were made for /u/ke7ofi after she/he asked a question on how to do this you can read the question here.
sudo apt-get install x11-utils python-pip git
sudo pip install i3-py
git clone https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout
And add alternating_layouts.py to your ~/.i3/config autostart:
exec --no-startup-id /path/to/alternating_layouts.py
Install python-i3-py and xorg-util-macros, then add
exec --no-startup-id /path/to/alternating_layouts.py
to your ~/.i3/config.
Using regular i3, creating a window layout like this would involve a lot of $mod+Return, $mod+h and $mod+v. Using this script, you only need to open a bunch of new windows!
