Summary

I have a 5K Ultra Wide 40 inch monitor with a 5120x2160 resolution. The best layout for this monitor, in my opinion, is that it's splitted in three equally sized columns. Right now I'm using the UltrawideVerticalStack, but that does not perfectly fit the screen size. It would be perfect if the screen gets equally divided in the three columns. I known I can do that with columns and custom layout rules, but when a fourth windows arrives I need to switch back to UltrawideVerticalStack, which is let's say 20-60-20? But I need 33-33-33.

How to do this without custom layouts, because that option is deprecated?

@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 30, 2025): If you only ever want at max 3 equally spaced columns you can * Use the "Columns" layout, then set a window container behaviour rule to "Create" new containers when there are >= 0 windows open, and to "Append" to the existing focused container stack when >3 windows are open: https://komorebi.lgug2z.com/schema#monitors_items_workspaces_items_window_container_behaviour_rules * Use the "Scrolling" layout currently on nightly and limit the number of columns in the viewport to 3: https://youtu.be/b1yECfF7Qyg Since this is not a bug this ticket will be closed; for workflow related questions like this the community Discord is the best place to get feedback from a broader range of experienced users
