Hi, I really like using KDE tile shortcuts to send my windows to the corners or sides etc.
But since I have 4k 42inc monitors I really would love to have more tile choices. Is there maybe such a tool that provides this?
What I look for is, like
Press shortcut for sending to “right” the first time => Use half size of right area.
Press it again => use 1/3rd of the right,
Press once again => use 2/3rd of the right side.
And this for all sides/corners.
I use a KWin script called krohnkite. Settings - Window Managment - KWin Scripts - Get New Scripts. There are also a few youtube reviews of it. It works for the most part, but I have noticed a few bugs.
I played a bit around with it, and it is an interesting script. But not really suitable to my situation.
I have often 30+ windows upen and for most of them I do not care where they are. But I have a fixed set of windows that I want to see next to each other and be able to quickly throw around if I need to.
So I wrote my own KWin script. I’ll see how to publish it to the KDE download section and let you know when I did.
It has a 3x2 grid for each screen and I use the numpad for control.
The upper keys take the upper half of the screen and switch corners sizes but do 2 sizes. 33%, 50% and 66%
The left and right key, use maximum hight but also 33%, 50% and 66%
The center key is Fullscreen or full height but center of the screen with 33% width
Lower row is for lower part of the screen.
Welcome to the world of Linux, where when you can’t find a solution you make it yourself 
Share with us in the meantime 
Just download it, rename .zip to .kwinscript and import.
Then make sure the Key shortcuts are as you want them (Better Quick Tiles *) It uses Meta+Num1-9 as default.
I also suggest to also assign “window to next/previous screen” to move a window from screen to screen on multi monitor setups.
Let me know if you find any issues.
Thanks, will look into it
Ok, I think I launched this script to the KDE store. Not sure if I already pressed all buttons I have to press. Does not yet appear in my “Get new Scripts…” result, but could simply take a while
Hmpf, if I install it via the official repository it does not behave as in my own tests. Have to unpublish again until I found the reason.
I tried your version it didn’t work for me, the shortcut were doing nothing. However it permitted me to explore the Kwin Scripts category on KDE store, and I found something I liked (Quick Tile Enhancement) so after all it was a good experience anyway 
I also saw there were other scripts that seemed to be what you were looking for:
Hmm, yes, seems really similar. I could not get it to run in my VM however where I now rigurously tested my extension. My new version, 1.0.7 is uploaded now.
