Can reproduce. The spatial tiling changes should probably only affect when tiling via arrow keys, not when using the shortcuts that tile directly to exact positions on screen.

Committed on 21/03/2025 at 06:15. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. Combine tile modes when tiling via arrow keys It takes some effort for the human processing unit (aka brain) to combine quarter tile modes with other tile modes. This change allows only half tile modes to be combined with other modes, it is easier to comprehend and it produces fewer unexpected results.

Thank you very much! The "Quick Tile Window to" actions appear to still be broken in 6.3.5, relative to how they were before the start of the year. For example, if I have a window in the bottom-right quarter of my screen, "Quick Tile Window to the Left" previously would have moved it to take up the left half of my screen. Currently, it instead moves the window to take up the *bottom* half of my screen (because it's seemingly extending to the left from its current position). The fundamental problem seems to be that these actions used to be "absolute" but they were unexpectedly changed to be "relative". Under the original behaviour, "to the Left" would have the same meaning regardless of the current position. I had bound all 8 of these actions to Meta plus numpad digits, which nicely correspond to the 8 possible locations I could snap a window into with a single keypress. Now moving between different positions (e.g. from bottom-right to the left) takes an unpredictable number of actions. (In my example, even mashing the left direction will only get you to the bottom-left, not the whole left, so you have to stop and think how to proceed instead of reaching the goal in one press). The patch above prevents combining quarter tile modes to other tile modes, which this bug report is about, tile modes such as "to the left" are still combined.

Created attachment 179563 [details] My config *** "Quick Tile Window to" function need a second step to move to correct position *** SUMMARY With one of the last 6.3 Plasma updates, the "Quick Tile Window to " function is broken. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. See my config at attachment "KWin01.jpg" (overwrite setting if asked...) 2. When I have a window in "Top Left" position and press Meta+F4, result is in the middle of screen 3. Pressing Meta+F4 again, the correct position "Bottom Right" is found OBSERVED RESULT Need to press Meta+F4 two times to reach correct position EXPECTED RESULT Press Meta+F4 only one time SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
