Project mention: Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-30

I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS
it was perfect for using a single monitor
kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place
I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

react-mosaic

7 4,059 5.7 TypeScript

A React tiling window manager

bismuth

138 2,342 0.0 TypeScript

KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.

Project mention: Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

What level are you interested in scripting? In KDE Plasma you can interact with the desktop UI via JS: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/
And then for something more sophisticated there are extensions like https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth.
It does all feel a little disorganized/wild-west-y compared to say, a .vimrc with a list of plugins and bindings, which is something that makes a system like Nix (or a fully containerized DE of some kind) appealing

krohnkite

89 1,584 0.0 TypeScript

A dynamic tiling extension for KWin

Project mention: kde tilling features needs some attention | /r/kde | 2023-05-24

That's exactly what happens. Bismuth was a fork of Krohnkite. If someone needs Bismuth enough, they will pick it up, fork it or whatever.

polonium

9 706 9.0 TypeScript

Autotile manager for Plasma 6

Project mention: Hyprland Crash Course | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23

This is a fork of bismuth that works with plasma 6. Haven't tried it, but it is supposedly quite nice
