Moreover, user should add a surrouding root container which is missing in the file (this baffles me, why cant they save it too?).

So doing it manually (which I dont want) consists of following steps, as described at [i3wm.org](https://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html):
1. export the workspace into jason using ```i3-save-tree --workspace ...```
2. edit the json to match your desired matching rules for the windows
3. wrap the file in a root node, which defines the root split.
4. when needed, load the layout using ```i3-append ...```
However, this plan has big flaws. Its not scalable, its not automated and loading of layout does not work when windows are already present in the current workspace.
However, this plan has flaws.
Its not scalable, its not automated and loading a layout does not work when windows are already present in the current workspace.
To fix it, I built this **layout manager**.
Currently, its a hacky-type of a shell script, but feel free to contribute :-).
## How does it work?
1. The workspace tree is exported usin ```i3-save-tree --workspace ...```
2. The tree for all workpsaces in the cofused monitor is exported using ```i3-save-tree --output ...```
3. The location of the current workspace in the all-tree is found by matching the workspace-tree file on the monitor-tree file.
