When modifying a tiling layout, it does not save changes to your tiling layout forcing users to recreate that layout from scratch. A couple different approaches, bot useful that could help with this would be: - Associating layouts with activities or virtual desktops - Allowing users to add layouts to the tiling layouts via META+T shortcut Thanks for all the hard work that went into this release, and I am excited for Plasma 6!
Would be very nice to be able to save layouts. I'm not sure how the previews work when loading a layout, but if they are not generated from the layout data, a generic button with the layout name could be used instead.

Currently, as a workaround, I manually edit the [Tiling] part of the ~/.config/kwinrc file. I manually created a json with my tiling preferences and saved it to another file. Every time I lose my tiling (for example, if I disconnect my monitor), I rewrite the kwinrc file with the string I saved to my backup file, log out and log back in. It's not ideal, but it's the best way I found, for now.
I would also like this feature and it would align with how Power Toys works in Windows. As a user with an ultra-wide monitor, I rely on tiling to keeps my windows in a clean layout but I frequently change the layout depending on the work I'm doing. Quickly switching between custom layouts is an obvious missing feature of tiling system.
I think that implicitly saving the layout per activity / virtual desktop would be the way to go.
