Because my laptop have only 13` of screen size I often need to resize some consoles to full screen. Fullscreen mode is not appropriate for me, because I can't navigate to another consoles where I have fullscreen. I want hotkeys to trigger maximization of vertical split to right, left or center. Something like I tryied express on this gist: gist.github.com/abonec/b16807a836eac60f10a7 I know that I can achieve this by "mod+r-> ;;;;;;;" or "mod+r -> jjjjjjjjj" but I want to do it quickly in one or two hotkeys.Sun, 17 Aug 2014 10:48:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4501/quickly-resize-splitted-containers-to-full-screen/Answer by ANOKNUSA for <p>I have a tons of consoles and organize it within vertical split both parts of which consists of consoles that stacked on each other.</p> <p>Because my laptop have only 13` of screen size I often need to resize some consoles to full screen.

You'll have two independent stacked containers.
