I pressed Mod+S and my windows flatted into a stack of bars. How can I undo this action or expand them back into their original configuration? The best route I found was to individually select each window and to Mod+Shift+arrow key to split horizontally. Surely there's a trick I'm missing?

It would greatly help you get an answer if you provided any information on your setup such as the actual operating system and window manager you use.Julie Pelletier– Julie Pelletier2016-11-13 22:04:14 +00:00Commented Nov 13, 2016 at 22:04

You can switch between three modes:
$mod+Sfor stacking mode$mod+Wfor tabbed mode$mod+Efor standard mode (aka splith/splitv - the one you seek)
More info on the User Guide.
$mod+e should switch to tiling mode again.

1Tried that to no avail, but perhaps I had to select the whole stack or something first?Wolf– Wolf2016-11-15 18:32:15 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 18:32
Answers here are correct but you need to make sure you're switching modes from the same window where you started it. For a simple test, do the following.
- Open two windows in tiled mode
$mod+son window1- Switch to window2
$mod+eon window2 # Doesn't work$mod+won window2 # Doesn't work- Switch to window1
$mod+eon window1 # Works!$mod+won window1 # Works!
