Switching the layout direction with movewindow
Hello,
I have the following issue:
I want movewindow to change the split depending on the current split and the direction pressed. For example if I have two windows split left and right and press movewindow up, the currently focused window should move to the top and the other window should be below it (split changes to top/bottom). This should also work vice versa, e.g. when I have two windows in top/bottom and press movewindow right, the current window should go to the right and the other window to the left of it.
I played around with some settings in the dwindle layout and searched the forum, but could not figure out a config which achieves this. If I missed something I would appreciate a hint or link to the flag that makes this possible.
