Please Support Multiple Layouts

[stevej-algoteer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi, Vesko.

FancyWM is amazing, but it doesn't let you save, and switch among, different layouts. During the day, I'm a full-time options trader. The layout that I'd like to use for trading is different from what I'd like to use for software development, or entertainment.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please support multiple layouts that you can switch among.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Where does FancyWM save the layout? If it's in a text file, I could create alternative layouts and swap among them (with some difficulty). But it would be much better if this were a supported feature.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

i also would like to see this feature implemented.

i would like to see multiple layouts for spliting ( eg. spiral spliting and i also would like the master and slave spliting )

Just a couple of days ago, I switched to using Komorebi, and joined the Discord server. It's highly configurable and the developers are very actively implementing new ideas, fixing bugs, and fulfilling requests on a daily basis. For example, I requested an ARM64 build, and they were able to produce an installer just one day later.

Komorebi supports multiple layouts. FancyWM is nice and polished visually, but lacks Komorebi's flexibility. Komorebi has a higher learning curve than FacyWM, but it lets you define rules for where applications should be put. You may want to check it out to see if it'll meet your needs.
