Splits and window stacking in i3





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

Currently, I'm trying to configure perfect workflow with i3 and found the next problem. Some context, I'm using couple monitors and like to have my windows stacked so it is easier to swap between monitors. Therefore by default, I have workspace_layout stacking within my config, however, sometimes I want to split the current window without stacking. It is done with the next keys



bindsym $mod+h split h ;exec i3-sensible-terminal ;
bindsym $mod+v split v ;exec i3-sensible-terminal ;



The problem is that next open windows will be splits as well however I want it to be next within parent stack. Currently in this case I will move split out of the window down my stack. The question is whether it is possible to open next window down stack without extra moves and how to configure it.
