This is a Kwin Script to tile windows by clicking in a grid. For now, its a Divvy clone from Mac Osx in KDE.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
This was tested in the following settings. If you try it in another and it works, let me know so i can put it here.
- Plasma 5.24.4
- KDE Frameworks 5.92.0
- Qt 5.15.3
- Download the release file
- Load it from System Settings -> Window Management -> KWin Scripts -> Install from file
- You could change the number of columns and rows from the settings.
- The default shortcut is Meta+Ctrl+D. If you dont like it, you could change it from System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Kwin -> Manual Tiling

Press the assigned shortcut and the applet will be shown. On the right, you could choose the window to tile clicking it. It would bring it to focus. On the left, click on a grid square, then on another, and the window will be resized to fit that space. Do the same for another one. When you are done, press the assigned shortcut again to hide it.
The icons on the grid are merely decorative, you could still click on the squares, but would you?
Opening and closing the applet will clean the grid, the idea is to launch it, arrange the windows and then forget about it. I dont want to force already placed windows into a made up grid.
See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).
Thanks to this for letting me read scripting code, and understand better some things.
