Features
By default, the keybinding for tiling is Super+NUM_PAD.
- Tiling popup
- This is a popup that appears when a window is tiled and there is an (unambiguous) free screen rectangle.
- It lists all windows open on the current workspace.
- Activating one of the popup icons tiles the window to fill the remaining screen space.
- Tile groups
- Tiled windows are considered a group if they don't overlap each other and aren't interrupted by non-tiled windows.
- When one of the windows is focused, the rest of the group is also brought to the foreground. Tile groups are also resized together.
- Layouts
- A layout is a list of arbitrary rectangles.
- When activated with a keybinding, the tiling popup asks which of the open windows you want at each spot of the layout.
- The layout selector is a popup that lists all defined layouts by name.
- This way you don't need to remember the keybindings of your layouts.
- Pie menu
- Pressing
Super + RMBon a window opens a simple pie menu.
