Description: Exquisite is a KWin script that brings Windows 11 like window tiling to KDE Plasma. The default shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + D. It can be configured from System Settings > Shortcuts > KWin > Exquisite.
Features: - Pressing the ESC key now hides Exquisite - You can now assign shortcut to individual tiles in a layout. Shortcuts only work when Exquisite is open. - You can edit the layouts in: ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/exquisite/layouts - Exquisite now has an option to show the currently active window's title in the header bar, enabled by default - New "Under Mouse Cursor" option added to Exquisite spawn location options - This option only works with Plasma releases above 5.27.5 - New "Hide titlebars of tiled windows" option, disabled by default - New "Tile scale" option to adjust the size of Exquisite's window tiles, 1.3 by default - New "Gap between tiles" option to adjust the gap between tiled windows and screen edges, 0 by default - Completely revamped settings dialog - Now with tabs!
Changes: - "Restart KWin" button is now disabled by default - Removed titlebar "Help" button - **!!! IMPORTANT !!!**: Layouts are now defined by (`x`, `y`, `width`, `height`) instead of (`row`, `rowSpan`, `column`, `columnSpan`). You will need to port your custom layouts, read below for a quick porting guide: - `row` -> `y` - `rowSpan` -> `width` - `column` -> `x` - `columnSpan` -> `height`
Bug Fixes: - Autotiling now only tiles windows on the current screen and current activity - Fix bug where on certain screen sizes and layouts, windows didn't tile properly and caused windows to visually bug
I just moved to Debian KDE Plasma as my daily driver -- from Windows 10.
I came across Exquisite and I love it. It is exquisite.
I had a feature idea I wanted to share.
I think it would be swell if pop up window show under/near the mouse. This would help with super ultrawide monitors.

IMO a rather clumbsy thing - given that we can do half/quarter tiling with shortcuts, and use krohnkite to toggle floating or tiling of all the windows.
What most people don't understand when seeing Exquisite is, it's not meant to be a Krohnkite (also Krohnkite is unmaintained, use Bismuth) alternative. Exquisite is more of a GUI utility to add simple windows placement functionality to the daily usage of floating windows. Definitely not for generic tiling use case.
