But can it tile windows yet? :-)
I know, I should use a "real" window manager if I need my windows to be tiled, but I feel that tiling is a real feature with a legitimate need that should be built into Gnome.
- andybak 16y agoAh! My pet rant too. Overlapping windows. What a pain they are...
- mkelly 16y agoI also thought the same thing. I don't mind fully overlapping windows (a la tabs), but leaving a bunch of useless space, occupied by nothing more than a pretty picture, on my power-huntry monitor is what's inconceivable to me. I think I've irrevocably put myself on the fringe by switching to a tiling window manager, though. Oh well. There's a little more elbow room out here.
- SkyMarshal 16y agoI've dabbled with Awesome and Xmonad, but am not an expert. However I've found that Compiz Grid + Guake on Gnome gives me mouse-less window management too: http://guake.org/ http://guake.org/ (in most repo's) Grid: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra CompizConfig -> Window Management -> Enable Grid Desktop controls: * Position and tile a window: Ctrl-Alt-[Numpad] * Show/Hide console: F12 * Open multiple console tabs: Shift-Ctrl-T * Change workspace: Super-[leftarrow], Super-[righarrow] * Start any program, open any file: Alt-F2 or Super-Space (for Gnome-Do)
