Right-Click-Resize not possible in layouts

[SHU-red]

Hello,
im super-new to awesomeWM and already use bling, because i love the centered-layout.

What i don't get to work is the function, which the standard-layouts support: Right-Click and hold on the Titlebar can then resize the windows by mouse draging

Maybe there is something that i dont get, but would be very nice to have this feature also in the bling layouts

That's actually not that small of a feature to implement. To make our layouts as reponsive as for example the default tile layout in awesome, we need to do two thing:

1. We need to support "indivual client width factors" (the thing you set with awful.client.setwfact) which we currently don't (as you can see when you try that function on a client 1. on our layouts vs 2. on the awful.suit.tile layout). I didn't understand how those were handled back when I wrote the layouts that why they are missing.
2. We would need to add a mouse_resize_handler to each layout which then runs a mouse grabber. That's probably a tedious but not necessarily hard task when one orientates on the already existing implementation.

You can also see that it's not that trivial by looking at the awful.layout.tile.spiral layout: That one doesn't implement those two either. Would be cool to have that support in bling layouts though

Ok understood!
This is not the end of the world but could be cool in certain situations!

I'm not able to do something like this by myself 🥲
