I'm afraid this was an intentional change in KWin 6.4; now the tiling is spatial rather than modal, with windows growing and shrinking based on their current size and position. For example, suppose a window is currently quarter-tiled in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen, and you want it to be half-tiled on the left side. You would first press Meta+Up to make the window grow upwards so that it's half-tiled on the right side. Then you would press Meta+left to move the half-tiled window over to the left side.

I follow KDE RSS, but don't seem to recall the announcement or even mention of this change. I checked and didn't find any announcement of it on https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.3.0/, https://blogs.kde.org/categories/this-week-in-plasma/, https://blog.vladzahorodnii.com/, https://pointieststick.com/, even though I distinctly remember it being mentioned somewhere. So perhaps not, or else my searching skills are poor. :( |
