# kde-tiling-on-drag

Use KDE 6+ Tiling manager and "tile" all windows at the best positon without having to press the `shift` key.

It will not split or add areas on the fly, the window is only resized to an existing area that you can define with `Meta+T` using KDE's tiling editor.

Single windows are maximized automatically.

*This extension is unstable.*

Requirements :

- Since version `v1.0.0`, KDE/Plasma 6 is required, for Plasma 5.27 use release `v0.1.6`.

Demo:

How to compile and install from source :

Limitations :

* It's buggy

* You need to set at least a layout with 2 areas.

* There is no feature such as "switch layout", etc.

* If you need more, stick to a more advanced script. This one is only an [MVP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product).

* You can of course submit MR or fork.
