Description postix 2023-03-19 19:22:00 UTC
Right now tiling only works manually by using shift + dragging with the mouse or touchpad. It'd be very useful to have a built-in auto tiling feature, which can be enabled by advanced users, which works similar to i3 or sway. :)

There's currently a kind of popular auto tiling script [1] but it hasn't met my expectations yet.
System76's upcoming COSMIC DE has gotten a great auto tiling feature [2] for reference.

You could try Krohnkite, its much better than Polonium in my experience.
