Summary

I would like to make opened windows automatically go to the layout main window's position. For example if I'm using tile layout, the master window uses half of the screen, but when only one window is opened, it uses the full width. Same for column layout, where main window is positioned at center but if I open one window it uses full width.

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen

I want opened windows use the layout's master sizing and position instead of using all available width.

Maybe there can be a toggle that allows this behaviour. Something like "windows use full width": "on/off". Or maybe a keybind that does that on/off toggle.

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

My current alternative solution is to use floating layout and manually size and position a screen.

So, you want to spawn windows in so-called zones, like in Fancy Zones extension on Windows. This is a good idea for a feature. If the Layout Editor is ever going to be implemented, Bismuth can be used as a full Fancy Zones alternative on Windows.

Exactly, I didn't want to suggest it that way since I thought there could be a more simple solution. But yeah, that's basically what I would expect.
