Feature Request: Option to alternate layouts when opening windows

[paulodiovani]

I want to be able to alternate layouts (vertical, horizontal, vertical...) when opening new windows, similar to what this i1 plugin do: https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout

Is there a way to achieve this today?
If not, can we add as a feature request?

No, it's not possible yet

Once the on-focus-changed callback is introduced #230 and the command to query the tree is introduced #16, it should be possible to implement a similar alternate layouts script

Another (even better) option would be to have a layout that prioritize a single window, always giving it the biggest piece of the screen.

Similar to Hyperland master layout or Amethyst tall layout
