## Introduction

`i3-autolayout` is a simple service which helps keep a reasonable windows layout for your *i3* manager.

Without autolayout, you have to manually decide whether to split the windows horizontally or vertically. 

Instead, when `i3-autolayout` service is enabled, the split mode is automatically selected to better distribute the width and the height of windows uniformly. 

Of course, you can still perform a manual split: indeed, `i3-autolayout` aims to be as less invasive as possible.

`i3-autolayout` is written in *Rust* (programming language) for best performances and minimal system resource usage.

## Key Features

 * Easy to install (see the installation guide).

 * [`tabmode`](https://github.com/BiagioFesta/i3-autolayout/wiki/TabMode): real tabbed layout with a single command.

   * This command is integrated with *save/restore* layout. So it is possible to toggle tabmode saving the previous layout.

 * Written in Rust. Minimum resources overhead.

 * Systemd Unit (if you like it).
