A good start would be to implement quarter tiling by dragging window to screen corner, like half tiling is done by dragging to screen edge.
I have a 3840x2160 monitor specifically so that I can have four windows open at the best size for their content (email, document, web browse, and terminal) and can avoid the use of workspaces and see everything at once. Having to manually resize and place windows is a pain.
I love the direction this is going, I’ve been using i3/sway for years and gnome apps recently became awesome in tiling mode because of their responsiveness. If this is implemented this could definitely get me back on gnome 👍
Yes, I’ll definitely give tiling on Gnome a try again once this lands. Tiling mainly the reason I’m looking forward to System76’s new Cosmic DE.
Moving maximized windows to their own workspace seems like a really cool idea. Workspace management is one of the things I struggle with so I usually just end up with way too many tiled windows on a single screen when they could be moved around more efficiently.
That’s pretty much how MacOS does, but I wouldn’t call Mac’s window management good by any means.
Yeah, I am regularly confused by it. I prefer having my maximized windows as normal windows in a virtual desktop. I can then minimize them and work with the windows below as usual. The MacOS approach is very different in that regard. I prefer managing virtual desktops myself, as it allows me to organize stuff and allows me to keep a simple overview of my virtual working layout in the back of my head. Dynamically changing the amount of virtual desktops/maximized windows is just too counterintuitive for my taste.
