Feature 526 open new window position gnome45

[jtaala]

Completes #526 by adding options to set where to insert new windows (e.g. to the left / right of windows, or at start / end of tiling):

[Lythenas]

I tried this out and it works as expected.

@Lythenas what do think about this?

Since super-I also pulls from the right, any change would also need to affect it presumably.

from #526 (comment)

Should we also change the side that we pull windows from (e.g. make it pull windows from the left?). I'm thinking probably should for consistency?

Would it then also pull from start or end? Not sure how much sense that makes. But I don't really use columns, so not sure.

Yeah, that does seem a bit weird - in the case of start/end I think it would make sense to just pull from left/right respectively.

Then we should maybe just add one new keybinding for it instead of using this setting, since it does not really match up with the 4 options anymore.

Yeah, I agree - that would make more sense here.

Something like a Consume the windows to the _left_ into the active column.

I'll merge this one in and we can create an enhancement issue to add a consuming from left keybind.
