=Description= **I think tiling features in Plasma are tailored for 'advanced users' too much, while ignoring what I think most people will need.** There are tiling scripts integration for advanced tiling systems, while regular tiling lags behind Windows or Gnome (with Tiling assistant extension). I think tiling on Plasma should look more like it does on Gnome desktop with Tiling assistant extension. I'm talking about: easy snapping of windows into places, configurable gaps between windows, tiling suggestions. While Plasma desktop has 2/3 these things - the implementation is not the best. And 'tiling suggestions' are missing completely. What are tiling suggestions? Let's say you are tiling your browser to the right part of the screen. Why not show on the left the previews/icons for all other open windows, for the user to pick a window to pair with the browser? It makes tiling a lot more satisfying and simple. It's something that Windows had for a long time, as did Gnome desktop with the extension. If you struggle to see the benefit of it - try it out. Open Gnome desktop in a VM, setup Tiling assistant and compare it to what you can do on Plasma with just basic (ones that all people can easily do) configurations. I think it's time for the Plasma desktop to have a good, polished tiling for users who want simple things. =What it will take= //What is your plan for making it happen? What do we need to do to make this reality? What kind of support do you need?// =How we know we succeeded= //Will we have fluffy kittens? Anything we can measure? How will the world be better once we're done with this?// =Relevant links= //Any links that will help people find more information and understand the goal better?// =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.// =I am willing to put work into this= * add your name =I am interested= * add your name
