Yes this 100%. +1 from me. The layout should stay as it was set-up with the tile editor and should not change when you resize a window. Or there should be at least an option to lock it. If resizing a tiled window didn't change the layout, it would have to logically un-tile the window. So I see three options here: 1. Allow tiled windows to change the layout (status quo) 2. Don't allow tiled windows to be resized at all 3. When resizing a tiled window, un-tile it I like the idea of an option for #2, and keeping the status quo otherwise. When option #2 is on, holding shift should be required to remove the window from the tile. Additionally, maybe an alternative is to require holding shift to resize the window and the tile at once. I'd like to ask for this same feature. I've been using KDE tiling system since it got introduced. I use a 4K 48" TV as a monitor (effectively works as four 1080p monitors, since the dpi is close enough), but I really need window tiling for this. One of the things that bugs me the most is resizing a tiled window by accident. Every time it happens I need to manually edit `~/.config/kwinrc` `[Tiling]` section in order to recover my previous setting, and then logout and login again. I like option #3 the most (un-tile the window) but option #2 is also good. Removing the window from being tiled makes more sense to me - or revert the size of the tile back to what it was when the windows is un-tiled, rather than making any window resizing be a permanent change to the tile sizes. Yes, option #3 please. Un-tile the window from layout on resize, but let it be at the same place and size, except that side that being resized |
