Comparison / compatibility with Krohnkite

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi Mike,

I'm just starting out with KWin customization and would appreciate your insight.

I saw you recommending Krohnkite in the reddit thread announcing this script; can Krohnkite itself resize multiple tiles simultaneously?

Or can Quick-Tile-Enhancements work independently of Quick-Tile, and add the same functionality alongside Krohnkite?

Ideally I would like to use a keyboard shortcut to resize tiles simultaneously. Are Krohnkite and Quick Tile equally suitable starting points for this?

Thanks,
Adeel

Well I'll respond to myself in case any future noobs stumble upon this:

  1. I was confused by the fact that there is a Kwin Script called Quick Tile 2 in addition to Kwin's built-in Quick Tile feature. This script enhances the built in feature and doesn't need the Quick Tile 2 script.

  2. KWin has an option to set a Resize Window keyboard shortcut right under the options to set shortcuts for Quick Tiling 😅
    Quick Tiling Enhancements does resize other windows if the resize shortcut is used to move a shared border.
    By default the Kwin shortcut only moves the bottom-right corner, it does not "grow" the window upwards or to the left.

Haven't tried Krohnkite yet, but it looks worth trying another day.
