Description:
A dynamic tiling extension for KWin.

Kröhnkite is mainly inspired by dwm from suckless folks, and aims to be "simple" in both development and usage.


Features
------------
* DWM-like window tiling
- Dynamically tile windows, rather than manually placing each.
- Floating windows
* Multiple Layout Support
- Tiling layout
- Monocle layout
- Desktop-friendly layouts (Spread, Stair)
* Integrates well into KWin features, including:
- Activities
- Virtual desktops
- Window switcher
- Fullscreen (KWin can fullscreen any window)
- Minimization
Last changelog:

v0.8.2

* Reverted the metadata fix, which was supported only in newer version.

4 I don't understand why this is so popular. It's terrible compared to proper tiling window managers such as openbox, i3, etc.

Try Bismuth. This is dead.

10 I've been bouncing between kwin and tiling window managers for years. With Krohnkite, I no longer find myself needing to switch to awesome or i3, and then back to kwin when I start missing the present windows filtering and other features.

7 As long as the monitor is oriented horizontal, i really like this script! However, one of my monitors is oriented verticall and therefore it would be great if kröhnkite could start splitting windows there horizontally. Is there any way to achieve this?
