You just use meta plus t and select the layout you want. Then to tile open dolphin and open the terminal and then use the mouse cursor with shift key and drag the window to the layout you want it in.
Edit: So in other words drag the terminal to the larger tile position or smaller or however you have the layout.
Hmm? Press meta t and it comes up with whatever is loaded. Then to change click on load layout on top right. Select the one you want. Then click on the Window and it is set. You can also change them by adding or deleting a tile.
Edit: You say you have tiling editor? Under configure should show meta + t
Thought about this as well, but usually you get alerted when a shortcut is used already. I als tried other shortcuts but none would stick.
Well, letās see if others have the same issue, if not I guess I need to dive into logs and thingsā¦
Meta + T works for me, but Iām not sure if Iāll use tiling all that much, at least on laptops. On a larger screen I do see the use. However Iāll play around with it for a while.
Iām more curious about if the scaling has improved when you plug a laptop into a high res monitor/TV. Iāll try tomorrow as a rapid decapitation would be the end result if Iād hog the 4K TV right now.
Iāve updated the original post with the release announcement and changelog.
Iāve also done a fresh test installation. The issue I mentioned above of scaling being set to 125% initially is present for me in a fresh install. Iāll search bugs.kde.org later, and if I canāt find it will report it.
I updated prior to it coming out using the testing repo. Itās all working flawless as always. My install is Eos Kde Plasma. Iām not using Wayland although i know it does work well on amdgpu. Iām sticking with grub and X11. Iām really looking forward to Kde 6.0
Yes and I may try Wayland again. The biggest issue i find is when launch in apps with Wayland and you get the bouncing icon. Happens on Firefox and or Libreoffice.
Currently I am on Arch - Intel. My preferred Plasma settings does not really play well with Wayland (transparency and blur on everything except the active window), so I stick to X11, and Grub.
New day, new brain. Tried again to set a keyboard shortcut this morning, still no success. But I noticed the ādefaultā button on the settings screen. Well, that set the shortcut to Meta-T and I am in business
Will play around with tiling today to see if itās any good for meā¦
Something different, my background picture changed to this?
Is this really the official background? Pretty dull and very different to the previous onesā¦think I have to change that one. I want my orange rocket back
Tiling is not usable/practical now, for the purpose of replacing a Tiling WM, IMHO.
Nevertheless, there are several ways to have a fake Tiling WM experience, if you (spend a lot of time to) try configuring kWin shortcuts in a way that makes sense to a user (individually). I have not confirmed if this is because of the new tiling features, or it was there all along .
I know where to find the shortcuts, it simply didnāt work, what I set got ignored. But your screenshot also shows the āDefaultā button bottom left, that one magically solved the problem for me. So case closed.
But after half a day on 5.27 I am not sure if tiling is for me, I think Iād need a much higher screen resolution to get something out of it. Tiling is fine for CLI/Konsole, and I use it there a lot, but for graphical windows I just donāt have enough real estate.
