A layout which tiles the windows in columns. The windows can be moved and resized in every directions.

The first window appears in a single column in the center of the screen. Its width is configurable (See coOneWindowWidth).

The second window appears in a second column. Starting with two columns, they fill up the screen.

Subsequent windows appear on the bottom of the last columns.

Add Columns to your layoutHook with an initial empty state:

myLayout = Full ||| Columns 1 []

Here is an example of keybindings:

-- Focus up/down
((modm, xK_Tab), focusDown),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_Tab), focusUp),
-- Move windows around
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_l), sendMessage MoveRight),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_h), sendMessage MoveLeft),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_k), sendMessage MoveUp),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_j), sendMessage MoveDown),
-- Resize them
((modm .|. controlMask, xK_l), sendMessage HorizontalExpand),
((modm .|. controlMask, xK_h), sendMessage HorizontalShrink),
((modm .|. controlMask, xK_k), sendMessage VerticalExpand),
((modm .|. controlMask, xK_j), sendMessage VerticalShrink),

This layout is known to work with:

• XMonad.Layout.WindowNavigation for changing focus with a direction using Go messages.
• subTabbed for docking windows together with tabs. Note that sometimes when undocking windows, the layout is reset. This is a minor annoyance caused by the difficulty to track windows in the sublayout.
