Split iterm panes by user defined structure

Split iterm panes by user defined structure from the command line.

Usage

pip3 install iterm-pane-spliter
iterm-pane-spliter <json-structure>

the structure is a json Matrix, where each value is a different pane, the number of panes is the number of different values in the matrix.

the more values of the same number in the matrix, the bigger the pane will be.

Examples

2 panes vertically split

For this:

-------------------
|        |        |
|        |        |
|   1    |    2   |
|        |        |
|        |        |
-------------------

the json structure you should provide is:

Tip: just add more numbers to add more vertical panes

[
  [1, 2]
]

so you will need to run:

iterm-pane-spliter "[[1, 2]]"

2 panes horizontally split

For this:

-------------------
|                 |
|       1         |
|                 |
-------------------
|                 |
|       2         |
|                 |
-------------------

the json structure you should provide is:

Tip: just add more single value arrays to add more horizontal panes

[
  [1],
  [2]
]

so you will need to run:

iterm-pane-spliter "[[1], [2]]"

2 panes vertically split 1 is bigger than 2

For this:

-------------------
|           |     |
|           |     |
|     1     |  2  |
|           |     |
|           |     |
-------------------

the json structure you should provide is:

[
  [1, 1, 1, 2]
]

so you will need to run:

iterm-pane-spliter "[[1, 1, 1, 2]]"

split to 4 equal panes

For this:

-------------------
|        |        |
|    1   |   2    |
|        |        |
-------------------
|        |        |
|    3   |   4    |
|        |        |
-------------------

the json structure you should provide is:

[
  [1, 2],
  [3, 4]
]

so you will need to run:

iterm-pane-spliter "[[1, 2], [3, 4]]"

Some crazy structure

-------------------
|     1     |     |
| --------- |  5  |
|     |     |     |
|     |  7  | --- |
|  2  |     |  3   |
|     | --- | --- |
|     |  8  |  6  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|        4        |
-------------------

the json structure you should provide is:

[
    [1, 1, 5],
    [2, 7, 5],
    [2, 7, 3],
    [2, 8, 6],
    [4, 4, 4]
]

so you will need to run:

iterm-pane-spliter "[[1, 1, 5], [2, 7, 5], [2, 7, 3], [2, 8, 6], [4, 4, 4]]"
