KDE Plasma 5 introduced a (more or less) advanced window tiling manager. Most of
|
||
|
|
the time I use `META` plus one or two of the arrow keys to move windows quickly
|
||
|
|
to one half or one quarter of the screen. Plasma's advanced tiling manager
|
||
|
|
enables us to use layouts that are not defined by half or quarter of the screen
|
||
|
|
real estate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I keep forgetting how to use this, so this is my note to self:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Define layout: `META+T`
|
||
|
|
- Move window to predefined location: hold `SHIFT` while dragging the title bar
|
||
|
|
of a window with the mouse, or press `META`, klick anywhere into the window
|
||
|
|
and start dragging, _then_ while still holding `META`, additionally press
|
||
|
|
`SHIFT` to make the window snap to one of the predefined layout.
