Fantastic work, THANK you!

A suggestion: get rid of any spaces between the windows, but keep the snapping.

Sort of how Aero Snap works today, snap to the entire left half, or the entire right.

Keep the 2x2 grid you have now, but just make it easy to snap to the full size of each grid cell (or 1x2 or 2x1 spaces).

you can totally change that in the settings, set the "adjust_for_nc" on and disable gaps. I'll change the defaults right now. it's in config.json the explanations are here mcyoloswagham.github.io/win3wm

The gaps are a beloved option in i3wm. This project borrow opinions and hotkeys from that project and will likely be more appealing to people who just an _automatic_ tiling WM full time.
