Kwin script to add useful keyboard shortcuts for tiling-like window management

Ultrawide-Tiling (kwinscript for KDE/Plasma)

This KWin script provides a set of shortcuts for easily "tiling" windows in halves, thirds, or sixths. This is useful especially for ultrawide monitors.

Installation

To install, download the Ultrawide-Tiling.kwinscript artifact from the releases page and run:

kpackagetool5 --type KWin/Script -i /path/to/Ultrawide-Tiling.kwinscript

To update the kwinscript to a new version

kpackagetool5 --type KWin/Script -u /path/to/Ultrawide-Tiling.kwinscript

To uninstall:

kpackagetool5 --type KWin/Script -r ultrawide-tiling

From source

You can also clone this repo and use the above commands to install/update by pointing kpackagetool5 to the repo directory instead of the .kwinscript file.

Distro packages

• Arch Linux: kwin-scripts-ultrawide-tiling AUR package

Usage

Once installed, make sure the script is selected in the "Kwin Scripts" settings panel and restart your KDE/Plasma session. You should now see a set of keyboard shortcuts in the "Kwin" Global Shortcuts panel. Set them to what you'd like and apply!
