If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.


whoever creates a good terminal that can also run graphical applications tiled within it will be a hero.

I understand I could simply run a tiling window manager, but I often use terminal windows to keep projects linked if I, say, need to run a web browser to monitor the webui of something I have to config deep in config files, or running full throated emacs as if it was emacs --no-window.

I guess the alternative is... it's there anything in the linux ecosystem that plays well with kde (I'm willing to defect over this though), let's me have freefloating (I'd take tiled but I'd prefer not) windows that, within the window, lets me dock a grid of windows that then have a window wrapping them in the wm?

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

oh, sorry. yeah the things tiling WMs do now but within a floating window is what we first thought you meant (please note that at least i3 does have a hierarchy of containers each of which can itself be moved as if it's a window... but not made floating)

and when we thought that was wrong we thought you instead meant an n*m matrix-esque arrangement of windows that are constrained to have every window in a row the same height, and every window in a column the same width

so the thing is to make the container FIRST and then select the container (by navigating up the hierarchy) and move it to floating position

as far as we can tell the commands that make containers don't work when used on a window that's floating, though we may have done it wrong
