YTile tiles application windows automatically: nine workspaces per monitor
hidden by cloaking so alt-tab stays clean, BSP and Columns layouts plus
monocle, directional focus and movement that continue onto the adjacent
monitor, drag-to-swap, edge resizes that persist into the layout, per-app
float/ignore rules, optional taskbar hiding, and a named-pipe NDJSON API
for status bars. Ships a daemon (ytiled) and a CLI (ytile); pair with whkd
for hotkeys.
