I fat fingered a keyboard combination and now all new windows open pined to a corner of the desktop and cannot be moved around the desktop.
To fix it on the active window, Meta+F or upper left corner of window icon - Float Window selection box re-floats it.
I can’t find where this default behavior is set, and I have no idea what I fat fingered to get into this mode.
Any experience out there?
Thanks
Resolved!
In hopes that restarting KDE would resolve my issue, I logged out and logged back in.
On Login, I saw a brief Notification popup that Reported “Layout Set to Columns”.
So looking in Personal Settings - Shortcuts and Gestures-Global Keyboard Shortcuts-KWin,
I observed that “Meta+PgDown” is the “Next Layout” shortcut.
Meta+PgDown put me back in “Floating” layout, reported in another Notification message, which seems to be what I was looking for.
I found no other way to reset this
There is a dropdown menu in Personal Settings-Window Behavior-Window Behavior-Advanced for Default Tiling Layout.
I had set that to Floating (from Columns), which was not effective, but perhaps needed to restart KDE again (logout-login) for that setting to work; I don’t think I tried that.
Or, after reading THIS ITEM it seems possible I accidentally turned on Tiling with an alt+shift+F11 fatfinger.
In looking at another 12.2 machine (my laptop), I see that tiling is OFF, I’ll assume that is the default setup.
Not clear to me yet what the difference is between Tiling=Off and Tiling=ON with Default Tiling Layout=Floating

Thanks for reporting how you solved it.
