Tiling script for kwin, based on Mathias Gottschlag’s version This is Plasma 1/KWin 4 version
The purpose of this is to create a userfriendly tiling solution that
- Integrates well with KDE Plasma
- Works for the general case
More sophisticated users may prefer dedicated tiling window managers
- Provides most of the advantages of a tiling WM in a fully composited environment
Window previews and effects alongside different tiling layouts
- Does not require the user to delve into scripting to get a sane configuration
- Two layouts: horizontal and vertical spirals
- Support for minimizing and unminimizing windows
- Support for setting windows to floating or quitting tiling altogether, per-desktop (Meta+Shift+F11) and per-window (Meta-f) (“Meta” refers to the “super” or “windows” key here)
- Support for a list of ignored windows in configuration (by class)
- An option to start windows at the master position (like in xmonad)
- Mouse resizing
- Useractionsmenu and keybinding (Meta+f) for toggling tiling/floating
- An option to turn off borders for tiled windows
- A hotkey to tile once
- Many bugfixes over mgottschlag’s version
