If you have normalizations enabled, you don't need to "switch into a vertical stack"

Given this layout:

    h_tiles
    ├── window1 (focused)
    ├── window2
    └── window3
`move left` will produce this layout:

    h_tiles
    ├── window1 (focused)
    └── v_tiles
        ├── window2
        └── window3



Ah, so it does. I suppose this is an instance of my mental model not having adjusted.


For what it's worth, this video from i3 really helped me visualize how i3 and related WMs deal with windows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWA8Pl57UBY
