Mudeer VS UltrawideWindows

The only tiling program that seems to do this is mudeer but it requires pretty complex shortcut keys. I wish it would be used in other programs because it's the only thing I'd want tiling for.

With KDE, I am using Mudeer KWin scripts: https://github.com/darkstego/Mudeer

Mudeer

While using Google to get some links I found Mudeer, apparently very similar to UltrawideWindows but more true to a tiling environment on top of Plasma, so I may investigate that later. Mudeer claims to tile full screen applications, which UltrawideWindows does not do, so I already see a benefit. But then I have to rebind ALL THOSE DAMN KEYS lol...

Can you tell me what happens when you fullscreen, like with F11, a tiled program? Does it pop out of the tile and fill up the screen? The only script I've found that keeps it contained is mudeer but it requires some insane hotkeys to do so, and it doesn't work if you just use the tiled program's fullscreen command. I don't remember if it was fancyzones or an asus utility but I loved that feature when I used windows.

I use this to split my ultrawide, but it works via keyboard shortcuts, not dragging: https://github.com/darkstego/Mudeer

I used Mudeer in wayland. The only issue I had was Revolt launched as a webapp through my browser ignoring it. I combined it with the new script, Exquisite where revolt actually worked with Exquisite. I am back on X11 however do to a few unrelated issues.

In case someone asks, I use Mudeer window tiling window script which is a godsend for an ultrawide panel.

My setup: - 4K 55" TV required of course - KDE Plasma (some plugins/settings didn't work to my liking with 5.26, had other issues with the install so anyways I'm on 5.24) - UltrawideWindows script - KDE systemsettings -> Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects -> Desktop Grid, shortcut set to meta + E because Compiz, also when running 5.25+ it forced a "present windows" effect when showing the grid, I could not figure out how to disable it. Apologies for the snarky post, I was quite frustrated at the time, and am not looking forward to updating Plasma. - KDE systemsettings -> Shortcuts ... find the shortcuts for UltrawideWindows plugin and customize (I'm on my work laptop which I don't have that plugin, just standard Plasma 2x2 grid, so idk where exactly the binds are), readme

I almost switched to tiling but I didn't quite get over how it wasn't KDE's desktop grid. Unsolicited script recommendation: https://store.kde.org/p/1276605/

A few months ago I tried a few KDE kwin scripts.

Ultimately I went with 'Ultrawide Windows' [1], mostly because I like it better than the defaults and at the same time it is still simple to use. The Github page gives an impression of its capabilities and lists the hotkeys, but it is also available via the KDE integrated tools [2]. What I am still missing is a tool to simply define and use custom layouts.

I am running Gnome 40.5. I am in search of a very easy tiling extension to help me manage windows on my ultra-widescreen monitor. When I was on KDE I used the UltrawideWindows KWin script and it was perfect for my needs.

I recently switched to an ultrawide and found the minimal tiling (corners only) available by default in Plasma to be insufficient. After lots of searching, I found this Github (https://github.com/lucmos/UltrawideWindows). It's also available if you search for Ultrawide in the KWin script section of Settings. It does all the things I want with quasitiling on an Ultrawide, chiefly, big 50% window in the middle, 2 25% windows on the sides, just like Windows PowerToys.

I found https://github.com/lucmos/UltrawideWindows - Already pretty good. If anyone knows a solution which works without a keyboard I'm all ears :)
