PaperWM VS gse-sound-output-device-chooser

Still I'm looking forward for something like PaperWM to be possible in KDE - or even to write it by myself

I have noticed in one of your comments in this thread that you are looking for novel ideas of the UI look. As others commenters stated, you might be interested in tiling window managers like i3 [0] or sway [1]. They are truly a gem for productivity and sometimes for an eye [2].

However, I love the concept of scrollable window manager like PaperWM [3] is. When I had a smaller screen (24" 16:9) I was complaining a lot on unused space on my screen. With PaperWM I was finally happy with its dimensions, because I could have huge IDE on the left and small part of terminal displayed on the right. That way I knew if something was printed to terminal, while my editor took 80% of the screen.

If you want something really different, give PaperWM a shot.

You may want to try PaperWM (GNOME extension) https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM

I presumes this is probably out of the scope, but curious if there's interest to implement tiled scrolling behavior (https://github.com/paperwm/paperwm). I liked paperwm a lot, but couldn't find anything similar on Windows or else.

This is reminiscent of Gnome's PaperWM [0]. Not a Gnome user and just had the chance to try it for less than an hour, but the experience in my head sounded better than it was in reality - though was more of 'unexpected behavior' things than faults in the concept.

I think this approach tries to solve the 'cramming too much windows in a single virtual desktop' that sometimes can be felt with tiling WMs. For example, when I'm drawing something in Krita I'd want to see some references of what I'm drawing - I'd just scroll a bit to unveil an adjacent Falkon window to browse some images on the internet, do some strokes and scroll back to Krita's window - without having to resize it in half.

Sorry, I should have explained more. It's not on the regular site, so you have to install from https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM. It treats each desktop as an infinite horizontal scroll of windows, and automatically tiles them as such. Keyboard shortcuts can manipulate width and height, stack and unstack, move windows left and right or up and down, move windows between workspaces or monitors. Support in GNOME 40+ is still being worked on, and I'm not sure of the status, but it works great on 3.38.

🚀 Sound output device chooser

For extensions, personally, I use caffeine, clipboard indicator, dash to dock (for cosmic, since I'm on Pop!_OS), GSConnect, and audio in/out switcher (though this won't be needed in Gnome 43+)

Sound Output Device Chooser

If you're referring to Sound Input & Output Device Chooser, that functionality is coming to stock Gnome 43.

Looks like it pairs well with: https://github.com/kgshank/gse-sound-output-device-chooser

ArcMenu, Blur my Shell, Clipboard History, Dash to Panel, Desktop Icons, Pop Shell and Sound Input and Output Device Chooser are the ones used while also switching "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" on.
