Hi all,
Leap 15.6, KDE/Plasma (def. versions)
(posted this question on #kde, unanswered)
There’s a nice feature in Plasma: you can drag windows to e.g. upper left quadrant of desktop, and Plasma offers to resize to a quarter of the screen, and pin window to upper left corner. Or drag a little bit below the corner, and Plasma offers to use 50% of the screen. Following the example, once you have arranged you screen, you can change the 25/25/25/25 or 50/50 tiling to whatever you want by “resizing” a window.
Which will resize the other windows also. Nice…
Recognized this a while ago, coincidentally. NOW knowing how to use this when wanted, question left is how to RESET to the original “equal-sized”, 25/… or 50/50? Log out / log in does, but can it be done within a Plasma session?
I’ve found a “Tiling Editor” in Plasma’s settings:
but NOTHING happens if I enter whatever shortcut tested. Only change is that these shortcuts are disappearing at once
Found some KDE Plasma tech discussions, mentioning that META+T should be the (default) magic key here, but meta+t also does nothing… Some KDE doc links stating that Leap in general is too much behind the current plasma release, suggesting users to upgrade or use TW - not suitable for me, both.
One found also saying that Tiling in Plasma < 6 was “cumbersome”, several “Tiling Manager” scripts etc. on Github are for Plasme 6 onwards…
NOT a big issue, I don’t really need a Tiling Editor.
But would be happy, of course, if anyone knows the “reset tiling” shortcut, if exists!
Thanks,
Michael
