Hi there. I wanted to enquire about native tiling capability in plasmashell 6.5.4

I’ve used Khronkite in the past and liked it. However, I never managed to use the keyboard to switch between tiled windows which makes it kind of self defeating.

At the moment I use Meta+arrows to send windows about the place which is acceptable but not proper tiling behaviour.

Any news on that front?

Many thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions!

PS.: Added complication that I have the nvidia-driver for my GeForce 1050 Ti installed (Manjaro) and it seems to not accept keyboard shortcuts to switch between virtual desktops but that is perhaps worth a different topic.

Even with the documented shortcuts ?

I would surprised if those aren’t configurable.

Cheers meven! I eventually found them in my plasma version … For now I’m waiting for native plasma suggestions. Perhaps I don’t have to go back.
