This layout has one column per window, with each window extending the full height of the screen.
The rotated version of Horizontal, where each window takes up an entire row, extending the full width of the screen.
This layout places the windows in grid occuping space in horizontal when necessary.
This layout places the windows in grid occuping space in vertical when necessary.
In this layout, the currently focused window takes up the entire screen, and the other windows are not visible at all.
The rotated version of tall.
The default layout. This gives you one "main pane" on the left, and one other pane on the right. The main window is placed in the main pane (extending the full height of the screen), and all remaining windows are placed in the other pane. The main pane can be shrinked/expanded.

I will add issues where I think you could start from and label them as help wanted.
A big credit goes to ianyh/Amethyst. This is simply its port on the windows 10 operating system.
