setlayout is an internal function that is used to set a layout for a workspace.

Note that contrary to dwm there are no default keybindings for setting specific layouts, you can add these yourself should you need them.

Example keybindings to set specific layouts:

	{ KeyPress,   MODKEY,     XK_,      setlayout,     {.v = &layouts[0]} }, // sets tile layout
	{ KeyPress,   MODKEY,     XK_,      setlayout,     {.v = &layouts[3]} }, // sets monocle layout

Refer to the layouts[] array in config.h for layout options.

There are no external commands available for this function.
