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.



Mentioned this in another comment, but there are pretty good implementations of tiling window managers as kwin scripts inside kwin. I've been using Karousel and it's been great, coming straight from Hyprland.

I use a plasma widget called "Command Output" to replicate most of what I needed from waybar, and set up Breeze to not have title bars, and added a plugin to get rounded window corners, and I don't miss hyprland at all anymore.


I have a config on github to replace plasma's core window manager with i3wm.

https://github.com/comalice/dotfiles if you're interested.

I like kde's batteries included stuff, but none of the tiling functionality matched i3.
