I do not mean when only one window is open, no. I mean when I have multiple windows open. I expect my window grid to be fixed, and then I pick in what position I want to put each window. If I resize one of the windows in the grid, I want to make that window a floating one instead of messing with my grid and having to edit to kwinrc file to get it back to how it was. Here is a (censored) screenshot of how I use my screen: https://yakumo.lzzbr.com/fh/zones.webp I never used tiled window managers like i3, so I don't know how they work, but I understand they try to always fill your screen, and this is not good for my setup (4k 48" display). What I liked when I used Windows was a small program called gridmove. I also never got to try FancyZones because I stopped using Windows before it was released, but FancyZones seems to be exactly what I'd like to have in KDE. I don't think I am alone in this. At very least my brother, another everyday Plasma user, also completely agrees with me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
