Shell: Enable/disable tiling per workspace

Created on 20 May 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: pop-os/shell

Issue/Bug Description:
It would be awesome to enable the tiling per workspace. As a developer, I may be working in a workspace that has my editor and some information, but on other workspaces, I may want to have free-floating windows in order to do my job, maybe browsers and other GUI apps.

Expected behavior:
Be able to enable/disable the tiling per workspace.

Per workspace and possibly an exclusion option per application. Some applications simply cannot handle being tiled.

Expected behavior: right-click menu on application title bar should include an option to exclude this application from being auto-tiled

The exclusion per application would be very helpful, and maybe a configurable rule for auto-exclusion. In particular I've had issues with borderless windowed games getting tiled. It might make sense to have an option to automatically float windows that match or exceed the display's resolution

For some use cases I need partially overlapping windows in one workspace. In a second workspace, I may have floating windows arranged in some way.

When I turn on tiling in my next workspace, I do not want to break the arrangement in workspaces that I cannot see or maybe even remember.

Enabling the tiling per workspace would be IMHO the deadliest of killer features for widespread adoption of tiling and Pop Shell is in the sweet spot to provide it!

Thanks for your great work and here's hoping that this feature request gets some traction.
