Feature Request: Make "split_type" configuration applicable for a specific space.

[pyinto]

Background:

I have two displays:

• display 1 - positioned horizontally [main one]
• display 2 - positioned vertically [secondary]

Currently, I can only set only a global split-type setting, which is very inconvenient. My vertical display is usable only in horizontal split mode, but at the same time horizontal split mode is unusable for the horizontal display. Right now I have to tweak it with signals and scripting which is kinda junky and not that reliable.

Proposal:

It would be great to move this setting from "Global Settings" category down to "Space Settings" so that it's possible to have a different split_type for a specific space, like so:

yabai -m config --space 1 split_type vertical
yabai -m config --space 2 split_type horizontal
yabai -m config --space 3 split_type vertical
yabai -m config --space 4 split_type horizontal
yabai -m config --space 5 split_type auto

Current Config

My proposal is in line with the current syntax scheme:

Config
~~~~~~

General Syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yabai -m config <global setting>::
    Get or set the value of <global setting>.

yabai -m config [--space '<SPACE_SEL>'] <space setting>::
    Get or set the value of <space setting>.


Global Settings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

split_type [vertical|horizontal|auto]
    Specify how a window should be split.
    vertical: The window is split along the y-axis.
    horizontal: The window is split along the x-axis.
    auto: The axis is determined based on width/height ratio.

	2)
	yabai -m config split_type vertical

	echo "No active displays"
