SUMMARY I have been accidently resizing windows that are tiled and that changes my tiling layout. I'd like it locked so even if I resize a window I can just put the window back by moving it with the modifier key. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Put a window in a tile 2. Drag a side of a window 3. Tile layout is now different OBSERVED RESULT Layout is changed EXPECTED RESULT Layout is not changed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.10-273-tkg-linux-tkg (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080/PCIe/SSE2 Product Name: X570M Pro4
Sounds like a useful feature to me. Marking as 'confirmed' for review as a new feature.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5665
The merge request was rejected, so it looks like this feature is not wanted by KWin's developers. Sorry, folks!
I feel that a misunderstanding of the request. My request was for the tile layout "template" not be edited by resizing windows in the layouts. Being able to resize the windows is fine and expected behavior, but shouldn't edit the template as it currently does. So I could have a template for 2 windows 50%/50% and put 2 windows onscreen using it. I could then resize it to 75/25, but the template wouldn't change and additionally not on other desktops. Currently if you have windows on multiple desktops they also change to the 75/25 in this scenario.
Decoupling the window size from the tile size while keeping the window tiled is technically problematic, I'm afraid.
