Tiling

   1.7.0  

KWin Scripts

Score 79%
other:  Link
Downloads:  1421
Submitted:  Oct 15 2013
Updated:  Jul 27 2014

Description:

Note that this requires kde 4.11 for the config interface at least
Tiling script for kwin, featuring:

- A useractionmenu to selectively tile windows
- Three layouts, all mouse-resizable
- One layout with the option to set multiple "master" windows ("M-S-+" to increment, "M-S--" to decrement)
- The option to deactivate tiling per-desktop via keybinding
- A configuration menu for floating windows (by class)
- An option to remove windowborders
- "Animated" resizing and moving
- Optional "useless" gaps

Hotkeys:
("M" here stands for what is usually the windows key, "S" stands for shift)
M-PgUp / M-PgDown: Switch layout for current desktop
M-S-F11: Deactivate tiling on current desktop
M-f: Toggle between tiling and floating for active window
M-S-m: Swap active window with the master window
M-S-+: Increment number of master windows in (default) "HalfLayout"
M-S-h, M-S-j, M-S-k, M-S-l: Move window in corresponding direction

The following have been removed in 1.6.2 as they are already provided by kwin (but set to different keys):

M-u: Toggle window borders
M-h, M-j, M-k, M-l: Switch focus in corresponding direction


If you would like to help, consider reporting bugs and maybe even sending pullrequests to www.github.com/faho/kwin-tiling




Changelog:

* Forgot to enable bladelayout, could lead to crashes/script not working.

* 1.0.1: Fix some issues with panel at the top

* 1.1.0: Add an option to disable borders
This should only be used with FocusUnderMouse, as because of a kwin limitation focus can jump and it's impossible to tell which window has focus

* 1.1.1: Bugfixes and an attempt to adjust to new or removed panels

* 1.1.2: Enable resize "animations" and bugfixes (again including panel struts)

* 1.1.3: Retile on layout switch and keep desktop floating state

* 1.1.4: Bugfixes related to tabgroups and the focus hotkeys

* 1.2: Properly retile when a client resizes (including borders), "animate" moving, improve resizing "animation", add keybinding to toggle window border and bugfixes

* 1.2.1: Remove broken tabgroup handling (tabgroups float for now) and add a possible bugfix for some transparency issues

* 1.3 (unreleased): Readd clients that return (e.g. are unminimized) to their previous tile, bugfixes (including resizing)

* 1.3.1: Tabgroups, add shortcut (Meta+Shift+M) to swap a window with the master, bugfixes

* 1.3.1.1: Fix plasmoids immediately closing

* 1.3.1.2: Fix maximizing, fullscreen and resizing bugs

* 1.3.2: Fix windows not responding and focus-follows-mouse choosing the wrong window, add an option to open windows as master

* 1.3.3: Fix movement losing windows, add workaround for steam update window, fix tiling not working

* 1.4: Add option to disable tiling by default, add per-desktop layout configuration (as a line of text currently), add shortcut to toggle borders on all clients (M-S-U), add shortcuts to resize the master window (M-Alt-{h,j,k,l}), minor bug fixes

* 1.5: Bugfixes (including crashes), optional gaps between windows, respect min/maxsize (unfortunately this could cause crashes under certain circumstances)

* 1.6 (unreleased): Make resizing layout-agnostic, a manual tiling mode, code cleanup, fix tiling when compositing is disabled

* 1.6.1: Respect min/maxSizes, multiple (or zero) master support in halflayout, bugfixes

* 1.6.2: Make respecting min/MaxSizes an option, improve fullscreen behavior, improve configuration UI, remove shortcuts for toggling a border for a single window and switching focus (as they are provided by kwin itself already)

* 1.6.3: Fix crash when number of desktops isn't height * width of desktopgrid, fix default floating list

* 1.7.0: Bugfixes, add option to defer placement to kwin

 Love the Idea

Really love the idea but it does not seem to work on my setup though (arch kde 4.11.2)

also the default hotkey is set to alt+shift+F11 (in your description it says meta+shift+F11)

I obtained it via the kwin ghns and activated it there. if i press the hotkey it does not tile anything. What am i doing wrong here?

would looove some tiling in kde man ;)

Hi and thanks for your feedback.

I've updated the script (forgot literally one line of code), can you reinstall and try again?

Also thanks for reminding me of my own hotkeys :).

Did you try reinstalling it? It didn't take for me until I went back into GHNS, uninstalled it, then installed it again.

yeah, reinstalling worked!

The basic tiling is already looking mighty good!
One bug i recognized with my setup with the tiling itself:

(bottom right, it does not seem to fit the windows in correctly. Does happen with any count of open windows. I got one panel at the top btw)

Aaah cool, that was one of the cases I didn't test yet. I'm uploading a new version right now which should fix some or most of it - currently it's only handled in the default layout, and it does _not_ handle it when the screenarea changes (e.g. you set the panel to autohide). A restart fixes that, though.

 Top panel covers windows

Hi there, that's really a great script! But I can't use it as my setup with a Top panel.

The windows get maximized to full screen, and the titlebar (also sometimes part of the window) goes below the panel.

Any chance to fix this?

Well that is not just a issue with top panels, actually windows always goes below the panels, and I have it set as always visible (not windows go below)

Which version are you using?

Just yesterday I pushed 1.0.1 which should deal with just that - you'll have to restart the script though every time you change the panel setup (also be sure to set the panel to "always visible").

It seems that I had updated it but not disabled/enabled and restarted my session. This fixed the issue. Thanks a lot for this! Finally I can have all the KDE composite goodness and a tiling desktop!

Hi,

I just looked into it (it was on my TODO anyway) and it seems like I can expose it as a config option in the next release (probably some time this week).

 Window Tabbing issues

 
 by herrbatka on: Oct 22 2013

This script does not always work as intended when using it with window tabbing.

Also: what about per activity tilling settings?

I know about tabbing in general, it's on my TODO.

However, can you tell me where exactly it's having problems? (e.g. when you tab a window, when you change tabs)

I'm not sure about per-activity stuff yet - it'd introduce additional complexity, and I don't really know how activities work. I'll try, but it's low on my priorities.

In fact tabbing itself works.

When you have 3 windows and group two you are getting two windows allinged horizontally (including window group) ─ everything ok so far.

But when you detach one of grouped windows you have 3 windows, earch with maximum heigh.

And now the windows won't tile automaticly. Not sure why, maybe window sizes are wrong, maybe one of windows is out of screen border. Anyway, there is a case not covered by the script and it is not really related to the tilling i guess.
