Unequal/custom column width feature

[buttar]

I requested the same in the past and then recently I found this old ticket on the bugsite. I think there would be more that would like to have this feature for their regular/occasional workflow.

I took a shot at it and here is a clip in Matrix chat demonstrating the feature in action.

Kindly, comment you opinion on the same.

As I wrote to buttar, I'm not fond of the idea of having columns inside of text frames.
(The main reason: creating real columns with text frames (and guides) is in most cases just as easy and way more flexible)

Adding a way for customizing their widths brings even more complexity in the UI and in the code.

This having been said, I recall that, in the past, other (power) users have expressed some interest in the feature.
If I recall correctly, mostly for speeding up "repetitive" workflows.

Now, before thinking of integrating the changes proposed by buttar, it would be useful if the user who plan to use this feature have a look at the screencast he uploaded and check if this is what they need to get the job done.

And if it's close to what you dream of, propose changes...
