But then I have speedbar and emacs taking 50% of the screen, but I like

Of course, it's possible, but I always have to do that manually.
Similar for my pidgin: I want 20% for the buddylist and 80% aligned
vertically for the chat windows.
Isn't there some way to automate this?

Not yet, but several people requested this feature, so it will come :)


I had an idea to create a sort of interactive session manager for i3 tying
together IPC and a WebKit instance (perhaps through LuaKit). Is it
technically possible to provide dimensions when creating containers through
IPC? If not, would this be introduced when session management is added?
