Great project but I truly believe that these single screen window managers are going to be a thing of the past if Scrollable WMs manage to find some more marketting.

Niri[1] and PaperWM[2] for example, these Scrolling WMs provide a way to tile your apps in a way that feels natural. It's like having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors.

When I first used PaperWM on Gnome, I just couldn't think of a reason why somebody would even use their computer the normal way when these exist.

This is amazing, I just ran it and it works perfectly for my needs!

For context, I recently switched to the KDE window manager (KWin) after a decade of xmonad, to simplify my configuration. KWin supports some tiling but isn't really built for it, so I had some minor annoyances. I ran cortile and it perfectly auto-tiled my windows and allows me to still adjust the sizes with the mouse!

Thank you to the author!

I'd say some default shortcuts conflict with commonly used browser shortcuts, namely ctrl-shift-t and ctrl-shift-r . It's quite easy to configure these, but I found it to be a strange choice for default shortcuts.

Makes me nostalgic about the time when I used DWM. Their philosophy page is worth a read for developers imo:

OMG finally.

NEVER understood why you needed to create a whole new WM for the creation of some solid window patterns with shortcuts.

Kudos for this, what's your pitch for i3 users?

Is there something similar for KDE Plasma on Wayand?

Looks interesting, I'll probably use it if I'm forced to use a KDE or Gnome or something. Counterintuitively, the reason I use tiling managers is not tiling, it's the virtual desktop handling. Last time I tried both gnome and KDE are weird about it. KDE doesn't want you to use mod+é as a shortcut. Gnome allows you to either move both virtual desktops at one or have one fixed and one that moves, but I want both virtual desktops (one on each screen) to move independently.

Seems pretty nice, but also missing a central column layout (which I use on widescreen monitors).

This looks pretty nice, I'll have to try it if I ever switch back to X11. What surprises me the most is that it's written in Go.

Not a bad thing, I love Go. It surprised me is all.

It’s sad that this type of projects will not be possible with Wayland, because apparently pluggable wm is not a thing in Wayland

Awesome, I love the pop OS tiling support, but the rest of the OS is a couple of years out of date at this point, so I have not been able to stick with it. The newest version doesn’t compile the newest Ubuntu version either.
