I noticed that on my KDE I can press <cmd-t>, or <super-t> and get a overlay screen that divides the screen into sections, with the option to divide further.
I can split the screen horizontally, or vertically or add floating tiles, and at the top right hand corner there is a counter with -, + that says padding.
However, my main window management currently consists of using the <super-right>, <super-left>, <super-up>, <super-down>, <super-pgdown>, <super-pgup> hotkeys to place the windows on my screen.
How do I assign hotkeys to utilize the layouts I create?
that is the custom tiling feature and it is only activated by meta+clickdrag with the mouse to get into “move” mode, from there you can drag to the edges and get a half screen tile by default , or you can add the shift key to use the custom tiles.
using the meta+arrow keys, as you are used to, is the quick tiling feature which only give you half or 1/4 screen regions and it ignores the split lines from the custom tiling feature.
Looking through the changelogs, it seems to have been added in Plasma 6.3. If you’re on an older version, you’ll have to wait till your Plasma gets updated to version 6.3 or newer.
