KDE

i3-like tiling

Screen space is a very limited resource, especially on laptops. Therefore it should not be wasted. With the usual window managers it's rather difficult to position windows efficiently, and consequently a significant fraction of the screen space is wasted. This can be fixed by using a tiling window manager such as i3. Luckily similar functionality can also be installed on KDE.

Install the tiling extension by going to System Settings → Window Management → KWin Scripts → Get New Scripts. The settings button for the extension does not show up by default, but you can fix this by running the code below.

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5
ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/kwin-script-tiling/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/kwin-script-tiling.desktop

The following settings are recommended.

  • Common options → Placement method: Open new tiles at the end
  • Half layout → Default master width: 50 %
