Resizing the tile in the editor will resize all the windows connected, and on the converse, resizing tiled windows will resize the tiles as well. When moving a window if the Shift modifier is pressed, the window will be dropped in the nearest tile. Tiling is done by a full screen editor done as a fullscreen effect where is possible to add /remove/resize tiles.

Here it is a very short screencast about it. Over the last month I have been working to expand a bit the basic tiling capabilities, both the quick tiling with the current behavior and a more advanced UI and mechanism which lets the user to have a custom tiling layout. This feature is very good, but very basic, and while there are 3rd party tiling extensions such as Bismuth which is a very nice thing, but window geometry managing outside the core always can bring you only so far. Plasma’s KWin has since a long time a basic support for tiles via the quick tiling support, by either dragging a window at edges or corners, or via keyboard shortcuts. Personally I haven’t ever been a big user of tiling windowmanagers such as i3, awesome and what not, is not much the workflow style I want 24/7 out of my desktop, but there is definitely something something to say about that kind of multitasking when it makes sense, when is important to see the status of multiple windows at once for some particular task.
