Description
As a user, I was first exposed to this functionality with Windows 10 "Sets".
I switched to using Windows 10 preview releases so that I could use this functionality. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided not to move forward with this feature, and it never released on Windows 10 or 11.
I later discovered that KDE Plasma 4 had this feature, but that it never made it into Plasma 5 (which was the latest version at the time of Windows 10's Sets beta). I have been hoping to see this feature return from Plasma 4 ever since.
But it seems I'm not the only one that wants this feature.
- I created this question in the Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
- and I found this question on Reddit, specifically about Plasma 4
What it will take
This effort would be engineering-heavy, and probably primarily consist of changes to KWin. Though I don't have any engineering experience with KDE.
How we know we succeeded
Since this is essentially a feature request, the only marker of success is that the feature is available to end users.

Champions
We want this year's goals to be driven by small teams. Who will be this goals champions if selected? If you don't yet have a small team please mention what you are looking for still so others can step up. We believe a goal generally needs someone who can carry the vision of the goal forward, someone who can technically steer it and someone to promote it.
The team is:
