Bug ID: 506307
Summary: Allow snapping a window across multiple tiles when
holding modifier
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Custom Tiling

Target Milestone: ---
Given i have 2 tiles configured, i would like to be able to drag a window
across both to make it snap to the sum of them. This is a feature which exists
in PowerToys FancyZones, from which i know how useful it can be.
Desired Behavior:
1. Have a tiling layout with 2 tiles
2. Grab a window while holding Shift (default tiling modifier)
3. Drag it to one of the tiles
4. Start holding another modifier
5. Drag it to a adjacent tile, selecting it as well
6. Let go of everything
7. The window snaps to occupy the sum of both tiles
Since it seems that unlike FancyZones, windows are far more locked to their
tile, it might be necessary to implement this by ad-hoc creating a new tile
below the existing ones which spans both of them. If thats necessary a open
question is how this can be cleaned up again afterwards.
