I managed to add a few things, going insane in the meanwhile.

First of all, i reorganized the files of the project in some folders, because more folders are (almost) always good.

Second, i discovered that a decent algorithm i had made to find which window was under the pointer, which first checked the section (top or bottom), then row and column (which would make a small amount of checks), can’t work while i don’t lock in my layout! this is because i can’t get a certain window geometry unless i do a linear search over every window, which is a complete waste of time, because at that point, it’s faster to just make a linear search over all windows and check if each is under the pointer. So, until i figure out the spacing and in general the fancy stuff in the layout, i won’t be able to use my algorithm.

Third, i went absolutely insane trying to implement multi-cell windows on the map. like. i think i remade the algorithm close to 10 times before landing on something i like. in the meanwhile, i also added moving windows, simply because if you try to extend a window into already occupied cells, the layout manager will try to move all windows in the row(s) or column(s) out of the way to make space for the expanded window. I am quite happy with it now, even if it can only be expanded to the right for now because i want to split up some huge functions into smaller functions.

Anyways, here’s a demo; it spawn three terminals, moves the third one under the first one, extends the one that just moved once to the right, and then moves the first and second window downwards and back, moving the extended window in the meantime.

Note: for some reason, the terminal that gets extended doesn’t realize it was extended until i type something, hence it looks like a very very very bad cut. I swear it isn’t, you can look at the code if you don’t believe me TuT
