feature request: something like sway's smart_borders

[goolord]

smart_borders on|no_gaps|off

    If smart_borders are on, borders will only be enabled if the workspace has more than one visible child. If smart_borders is set to no_gaps, borders will only be enabled if the workspace has more than one visible child and gaps equal to zero.

just something i miss from sway

here's how i'm currently faking this feature

yabai -m signal --add event=window_created action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh
yabai -m signal --add event=window_destroyed action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh
yabai -m signal --add event=window_moved action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh
yabai -m signal --add event=window_minimized action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh
yabai -m signal --add event=window_deminimized action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh
yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action=/Users/zach/.local/bin/yabai-smart-borders.sh

#! /usr/bin/env zsh
NUM_WINDOWS=$(yabai -m query --windows --space mouse | jq -c '[.[] | select (."is-floating" == false and ."is-visible" == true)] | length')

if [ "$NUM_WINDOWS" = "1" ] || [ "$NUM_WINDOWS" = "0" ]; then
    yabai -m config --space mouse window_border off
else
    yabai -m config --space mouse window_border on
fi

I don't think the --space selector applies to the window_border config.

[goolord]

oh, maybe not. it works for me regardless, maybe because i have a single monitor setup and can't see more than one space at a time

Borders have been removed in the latest release (v6.0.0) (#1889) because of multiple issues present in both Ventura and Sonoma.
