xpytile VS gTile

It might be easier to use something like xpytile within XFCE to handle the keyboard handling. Read about it here: https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile

like shinglify or xpytile.

You can request the feature at xfce's gitlab, or write your own script to handle windows however you want. Here are some pre-existing scripts you can try or use for inspiration: x-tile, xpytile.

Without too much disruption to your install, you could try xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ within your current DE for a few weeks to see if it works, sort of as a transition if you decide to move forward.

You may also want to try xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ or zentile https://github.com/blrsn/zentile

As an alternative tiling helper for XFCE I would suggest xpytile.

Perhaps not the most straightforward solution, but you could use a tiling helper script which is able to 'tile' windows maximized per default. For example xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ It's pretty OK. Only little problem is with xfce4-terminal which is tiled a few pixels too small, but that seems to be a problem of the terminal app.

If you want to have some tiling support but don't want to give up the comfort of a DE, like XFCE, you could try a tiling helper like xpytile.

Gnome has an awesome plugin called gTile, and for Windows/Mac there is a very similar plugin known as Divvy Is there anything similar available for AwesomeWM?

If you're using Gnome, one alternative I'd offer is gTile. It's a Gnome extension that gets you some decent tiling features, including aesthetic gaps.

gTile v49 (released yesterday) introduces a breaking change from 0-indexed tile co-ordinates to 1-indexed, and this will break any custom co-ordinates (yes, it's kinda annoying). You can read about it in the release notes (v50 was released soon after this so be sure to read the v49 notes).

I recently switched my main desk to a 49" curved ultra-wide 32:9 (G9 Odyssey 240Hz) and am a total convert. I like it so much better than dual monitors. I generally use it as functionally 3 monitors, the "center" being about half the total screen space, and the two side areas being 1/4 of the total. For windows I use Fancy Zones and for Linux I use gTile to easily move apps and windows to their desired positions. I have yet to find a good solution for Mac. I use a high-end KVM switch to handle the 5120x1440 resolution.

It looks like information on how to use it is here. https://github.com/gTile/gTile
