can you rebase on main for c-f |

would be kinda cool if the tiled window moved out of the way so you know where the window is going to be placed, or a highlight appears in the orientation (sway does this) |

Adds a new configuration option
dwindle:smart_split_on_dropthat provides more granular control over when smart split behavior is used in the dwindle layout.When enabled, smart split (cursor-position-based splitting) is only used for mouse drop operations, while regular
split_width_multiplier-based splitting is used for splits during window creation.This way, you can still split based on aspect ratio when creating new windows, while drag and drop to rearrange using mouse position.
Is there anything you want to mention? (unchecked code, possible bugs, found problems, breaking compatibility, etc.)
false, maintaining existing behaviorIs it ready for merging, or does it need work?
Pay extra attention to the test
