Say I want one window to take up all vertical space on the left third of the screen and another to take up the other two thirds, is there a way to do this without me having to manually resize both windows?

I switch between i3 at home and windows at work and that’s one of the things I really miss

Another thing I miss is having a detached window permanently on top

There's probably a better way but I would put a window in each half using winkey+arrows and then drag the center divider to resize them both at once.

Hmmm

Dragging the center divider doesn’t work in my use case (detached eclipse console window on one side) I have to resize both windows manually

to be clear: it works as expected with two browser windows, it’s the type of window eclipse creates when you detach a view that windows doesn’t seem to like
