One-shot window tiling/aligning program

So I wanted nice window layouts without having to bother with tiling WMs (I love my Openbox setup way too much). Zentile just wasn't right for me (it stays on as a background process all the time, makes you move your tiling-dedicated keyboard shortcuts into a separate file).

Tiler is a "one-shot" script type - you bind it into a keyboard shortcut, then activate it when you want to align your windows.

Usage

Tiler will automatically align all windows in your workspace.

tiler - standard settings ( a e s t h e t i c )

tiler small - smaller gaps, bigger windows, practical

What works

Tldr; just watch this

Currently there are layouts for:

• 1 window - aligns the window to the center, switches between small and big window size
• 2 windows - side-by-side, windows are swapped each time you activate Tiler, use big option to get bigger windows
• 3 windows - One big window on the left, 2 smaller windows on the right, moves windows CCW on activation
