What you propose is complementary to my random (I rather call it
flexible) approach.
Defining such shortcuts is not very hard. In fact I didn't do it
because the Arg parameter in the key handler only accept one integer
(I hacked it to accept both col and row percentages but adding a list
of tags in the same integer would be too much)
Even if you have this kind of shortcuts: (Alt+1, 40%x50%, tags: 1,3,5
) I still wish to have the possibility to make the master bigger or
smaller (just to fit their content for a moment) It's faster than
picking up the mouse to move the horizontall scroll in a firefox
poorly designed page. As an example.
Remembering the sizes and layout per tag combination (bundles as in
del.icio.us) will be great but for me is enough to make it persistent
for a single tag (I use some kind of anchor tags)
Does we need tag bundles to make easier selecting a certain view?
(only internally, w/out visual counterpart) It will allow to define a
shortcut to view bundle X thats expand into tags W,Y and Z.
Just thinking aloud.
