A small KWin script for KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland) that shows Plasma’s built-in tiling layouts — like Windows’ Snap Layouts — in a popup at the top of the screen while you drag a window.
When you drag a window into the top edge of the screen, a translucent panel with the 8 native layouts (left, right, top, bottom, and the four corners) appears near the top-center. Drop on a layout and KWin’s native quick-tiling is applied via Workspace.slotWindowQuickTile*(), so window sticking and adjacent-resize-on-edge behavior work exactly as with KWin’s own edge tiling.
I imagine this was made for those with larger screens and higher resolutions, correct?
On standard, especially laptop, screens (13-17 inches), dragging to the edge/corner with a mouse would be much faster than trying place a window in a relatively smaller area on the screen, imho.
But, of course, for large screens that smaller area means far less dragging.
its for a bit larger displays yes. i always missed this feature on kde plasma and the already available options like kzones/plasmazones didn’t really click with me as I just wanted something that’d simply trigger the native snapping (which is more than enough for me) instead of doing their own thing on top of that. thought might come in handy for others as well so I shared.
