shell-scripts VS floating-tiles

Touchpad gesture to alt-tab.

Not natively. If you're on X11, you can use third-party tools for touchpad gestures; I have libinput-gestures and put together this (slightly hacky but functional for me) script which you're welcome to use.

For the time being, you can use this script as a workaround.

Here is a script I created for this purpose: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/toggle-krunner

Yes, journalctl. A GUI alternative is KSystemLog. You can filter the journal to KWin by _COMM="kwin_x11"/"kwin_wayland", however that output is still very noisy. It helps to prefix the print statements so you can filter by those with -g; here is an example. Note that for journal you can get live updated output with -f. If you're on Wayland and are not getting any output, try systemd boot.

Use this script I wrote with konsole.konsole as the window class: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/blob/main/open-on-current-desktop/open_firefox_on_current_desktop.sh

Always open on active/focused/primary screen/Always open on current desktop

I wrote myself a custom launcher script to solve the same annoying behavior with virtual desktops and Firefox: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/open-on-current-desktop Perhaps that can be used as a starting point to write a modification for activities and with Chrome.

And I developed Floating Tiles so my windows never overlap.

The newest release fixes several bugs, improves the performance and adds more options to control the behavior. You can get it through - Discover, - the KWin script module in system settings, - the KDE store in the browser, or - GitHub.

Floating Tiles - prevent window overlap

Floating Tiles, the no-stacking stacking window management extension to prevent floating windows from overlapping, can now be applied more customly and has received many bug fixes: GitHub KDE Store

You are also invited to take a look at some other KWin scripts I wrote: - Tile Gaps (add space around windows snapped to a part of the screen) - Floating Tiles (prevent windows from overlapping) - Step Resize (keyboard shortcut to stepwise resize a window) - Step Move (keyboard shortcut to stepwise move a window) - Swap Left and Right (keyboard shortcut to swap the windows on the left and right screen halves)

I also did some more work on Floating Tiles, the no-stacking stacking window management script: https://store.kde.org/p/1619690 https://github.com/nclarius/floating-tiles

Floating Tiles is available in the KDE store: https://www.pling.com/p/1619690/ and on GitHub: https://github.com/nclarius/floating-tiles
