[Tip]Keybindings for tiling in UW screens

Desktop Environments Openbox
1

Most rc.xml are now effective and if they are not, damo’s -from bunsenlabs- scripts are excellent for normal screens (layouts 2x2, 1x2 or 2x1).

Recently acquired an ultra wide monitor and layouts 3x2 or 3x1 are much better.

Well, here are my keybindings in case anyone needs them.

    <keybind key="W-KP_6">
      <!--MoveResizeTo Right third of screen -->
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MaximizeVert"/>
      <action name="Raise"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>30%</width>
        <x>70%</x>
        <y>0</y>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-KP_8">
      <!--MoveResizeTo Top center of screen -->
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="Raise"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <x>30%</x>
        <y>0</y>
        <width>40%</width>
        <height>50%</height>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-KP_2">
      <!--MoveResizeTo Bottom center of screen -->
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="Raise"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <x>30%</x>
        <y>50%</y>

        <height>50%</height>
      </action>
    </keybind>

        <y>0</y>

      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <x>0</x>
        <y>50%</y>
        <width>30%</width>
        <height>50%</height>
      </action>
    </keybind>

        <y>0%</y>
        <width>40%</width>
        <height>100%</height>
      </action>
    </keybind>
