Cortile – Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support

This is amazing, I just ran it and it works perfectly for my needs!

For context, I recently switched to the KDE window manager (KWin) after a decade of xmonad, to simplify my configuration. KWin supports some tiling but isn't really built for it, so I had some minor annoyances. I ran cortile and it perfectly auto-tiled my windows and allows me to still adjust the sizes with the mouse!

Thank you to the author!

I'd say some default shortcuts conflict with commonly used browser shortcuts, namely ctrl-shift-t and ctrl-shift-r . It's quite easy to configure these, but I found it to be a strange choice for default shortcuts.

This looks pretty nice, I'll have to try it if I ever switch back to X11. What surprises me the most is that it's written in Go.

Not a bad thing, I love Go. It surprised me is all.

Is there something similar for KDE Plasma on Wayand?

It adds tiling to floating window managers like openbox, xfwm, and kwin, giving tiling to more mainstream desktop environments like GNOME, XFCE, and KDE. It's not really made for i3 users I think.

I guess the advantage over i3 would be that those desktop environments have better integration with certain apps and a coherent look and feel. For example, on Ubuntu, which uses a modified GNOME, you can add tiling while still enjoying stuff like the volume control widget, gnome-control-center, consistent file open dialogs, and so on.

Awesome, I love the pop OS tiling support, but the rest of the OS is a couple of years out of date at this point, so I have not been able to stick with it. The newest version doesn’t compile the newest Ubuntu version either.
