cycle through split, stacked, tabbed modes with single shortcut (and skip stacked mode, too)

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I somewhat find pressing Alt+w, Alt+e and Alt+s to use the different modes confusing due to the following reasons:



  1. I fail to see the difference between the stacked and the tabbed mode (and would like to just use tabbed instead)

  2. I can think of no obvious mnemonics.

  3. I strain my fingers cycling between the three modes (especially when I keep forgetting which shortcut corresponds to which layout - due to the non-obvious mnemonics mentioned above).

I would like to define a single shortcut that would toggle between only the two of the three modes that I find relevant: tabbed and split (default). Can I accomplish that in the config file?

          Add this to your config file:



          bindsym $mod+Tab layout toggle tabbed split


          and change $mod+Tab to your desired key combination.
